What I would really like is to have a wiki within a
wiki. Seperate
name spaces, or at least automatically prefixed with the parent wiki
name, and simultaneously be able to get a recent changes for each
sub-wiki, the global wiki as a whole.

Actually, there have been some attempts made to tackle exactly this
problem. I don't know how far any of them have got, and how well they
fit your needs, but you might want to look around at projects such as
PeriPeri [1][2], FractalWiki [3][4], and FacetWiki [5] (a 'facet'
being somewhere between a namespace and a category), and some of the
related discussions on MeatBallWiki such as [6]. Also similar, but
simpler, is the idea of 'page clusters' in UseMod and its descendant
OddMuse [7].
Hope something out there goes some way to meeting your needs.
