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

[[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.)
