I am new so that I am confused. Does [[Rome:Information/weather]] looks like a namespace or Category?

i'm not sure wich system to use for every city in Italy. It's better to use rome:information/weather or rome/information/ weather ?
[[Rome:Information/weather]] looks like a namespace. If you can only have a few namespaces (16?) in Mediawiki, they could run out very quickly. Not everything with a colon has to be a namespace, but users may think it is one.
I prefer having everything in the top layer in a MediaWiki installation, and grouping things using categories. But some reasonably sizable installations use subpages (e.g. [[Rome/Information/Weather]]) in a productive way, e.g. Citizendium. (CZ is only small compared to en:wp - it's 20,000 pages.)
