Hello,
The wiki I'm working on is intended to be used as a users' manual for an open-source software project. There will be a number of documents that will be translated from English. What I would like advice on is how to manage these pages in the wiki.
There will not be enough language-specific pages for a complete wiki in, say, French, but there will be several important documents in other languages. How should we name and/or organize these pages to maximize the ability of other people to find the document they require in their desired language?
One thing that I have attempted to do was create page names like this: nl:Starpagina for Dutch-language pages.
We are striving to minimize or completely avoid using sub-pages, as it has been suggested to us that sub-pages complicate the search process and make the wiki more difficult to manage.
We started to create some new namespaces, but it's obvious that we don't really understand them well enough, and are not using them properly.
Your suggestions and advice would be most welcome. Thank you.
