We use 2 or 3 extensions which really help.
DiscussionThreads; allowing for 'treed' discussions on the talk pages CategoryTree; allowing visually seeing all categories in a tree format SelectCategory; allows selecting the specific categories for the article ArticleToCategory; Allows definition of a new page from a category page
These help us organize all our articles into specific category(s) as needed.
Searching works well etc. I don't think you need to learn new syntax, as such, other than wikitext .. it is challenging enough <G>

Good Morning MW Fans:
Does anyone have any pointers to discussions of how to properly organize a wiki so that things can be found easily by users ? I'm getting the impression one needs to have special wiki pages to act as content guides to various subjects in the wiki. The category system seems to break down rapidly as categories proliferate, or articles become too numerous in a single category.
