You are right, and ridiculous is certainly not a word that I would have
used. But the thing is that by making such things easier we also stimulate
the creation of subpages which, as Larry will explain to you if his wife
lets him, :-), is something that we'd rather not have in Wikipedia. Maybe
you don't agree with that, but then you should try to convince Larry and the
rest of the Wikipedia-gang that subpages are a good thing. That won't be
easy.
