[Request] Improve Pagination UI for Large Number of Articles

[LostMyCode]

Currently, the pagination component displays a button for each page, which can result in a cluttered UI when there are a large number of articles. This PR aims to improve the pagination UI by implementing ellipsis truncation (...) to handle cases with many pages.
Instead of showing all page numbers, the pagination should show the first few pages, an ellipsis (...), and the last few pages. This will provide a cleaner and more user-friendly experience for navigating through a large number of articles.
