You might look into http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages subpages would enable you to do what you need, and group stuff together. You then could use {{SUBPAGENAME}} in a template

No. They're all in the main namespace.
I'm working on user manuals, and thinking about maintainability as we move forward and certain articles change as equipment gets updated. Most of the manual will remain the same, but some pieces will change if, for example, we change manufacturers on a part.
So if we have an electric heater subassembly, it might make sense to have something like:
Electric_Heater;ManufA Electric_Heater;ManufB
and then have a main index page for each particular assembly with the appropriate links to the correct manufacturer for the subassemblies.
Does that make sense?
I'm open to suggestions on how to structure this better. Basically I need to be able to tag each page with some sort of tag to allow collation of the main document with similar titles. My customers don't care who makes the heater, they just want to know how to use it.

Is there any way to automate this in a template?
My titles are in the form
DisplayTitle;HiddenSuffix
so I could manually edit each and every page to add
{{DisplayTitle;HiddenSuffix:****DisplayTitle}}
but I'd really like to find a way to drop the part after the semicolon in a template; in regex:
s/;.*$//
or in php (pseudocode, not mediawiki code)
preg_replace(';.*$', '', $DISPLAYTITLE);
Can this be done?
