Mentioned before in Node 107998.
There is support to simply redirect the List of alchemy paths page to Category:Alchemy Paths. While the category does not have visuals, it generally automatically updates assuming the editor remembers to tag the path they make with the category.
The "List of alchemy paths" page does not, in my opinion, properly portray the behavior of alchemy paths in a way that is intuitive. There's clearly been a lot of work put into it, but it does not follow the format we so carefully developed recently with Raven's huge help, nor has it been updated in a while, and doing so would be a nightmare, considering both gunner gear and future updates. When we can just be useful and link to the category.
I would not be opposed to a page named "alchemy path" explaining what an alchemy path is, ultimately serving the function of the "List of alchemy paths" page in a compressed manner.
For reference, here are a few discussions about the page:
*Node 14989
*Node 58956
*The talk page on the wiki. Warning: huge load time due to someone's experimentation in 2013
Regarding the number of views on the List of alchemy paths page, we are suspicious it is so high because every material page linked to it for years.
As in the earlier discussion, I think that List of Alchemy Paths is a nightmare of maintainability. A benevolent God would never allow it to persist in our universe.
