Thank you, Platonides!
I like your ideas, but I couldn't fully understand.
Actually,
http://myhostname/documentation/ is my MW root. The whole MW is only used for
documentation for Mysoft version 1 right now.
When Mysoft version 2 is available, I want to make the entire contents of current MW to be
a different URL/copy (something like
http://myhostname/Mysoft-v1), and keep
http://myhostname/documentation as the work space for Mysoft version 2. And so forth.
Note,
http://myhostname/Mysoft-v1 is not static, which means people can still work on it.
I don't want to create multiple MW sites under
http://myhostname/. Instead,
http://myhostname/documentation/ is the only MW I want to let people work on.
Is it still Okay to take advantage of your ideas?
Thanks again,
Ross

At [[documentation]] place #REDIRECT [[Mysoft-v1]] to magically send to
page Mysoft-v1 when people visit documentation, or {{Mysoft-v1}} to
silently place there its content.
When version 2 is out, you change the Mysoft-v1 to Mysoft-v2.
No need to create a different wiki for each software version (as Daniel
Hoyte suggests), but remember that wikis in the web root are evil.
