That page is solely for *listing* repositories, though. It doesn't (nor
could it sensibly) cover the case of "explaining how to install Package
X for Purpose Y from Repository Z". You could make the words "Repository
Z" in another page link to that page, while explaining how to install
something from Repository Z, but that's about all it's useful for...
