I've kinda got the same problem. I work in a place where plenty of people are happily using wiki's, and getting them to use sub-pages would not be a huge effort But the majority are still a little wary, and for me, explaining sub pages is when I start to see eyes glaze over. See also InterWiki links. 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. Ditto search. If I'm on the "sub project wiki" and I run a search, it gives precedence to pages within my local area, but can also return things from other sub wikis. Equally, if I have some weird term, I don't care which sub project is referencing it - I want to search the whole thing. Namely across all sub-projects. Sub pages to where I want to be, but they rely on *all* the users getting the concept. Which isn't always true. m.

I'm with you, minty. The lack of easy subproject creation is one of the reasons I don't use mediawiki in my everyday note-taking. subproject rc, subproject searches, subproject new-art creation (say, a new short prefix for an art within the current subproject; another for one within the parent subproject). Subpages are fine if there are just one or two, and the long url doesn't matter. If you have more than a handful of subpages, you need another solution.
