[Wikipedia-l] No-subpage policy makes editing [[Middle Earth]] difficult

Note however, that Larry himself had stated that self-contained universes
are
the only subject where subpaging _does_ make sense to him. See

I don't propose # instead of "/", I'm proposing a limited add-prefix
function
(which could repair some of the disadvantages of the lack of subpages).

Well, don't lose your head over the subject :-)

That isn't the solution I'd like to see. Personally I'd favor some sort of
an additional addressing mode. Anyway, Wikipedia as a means of
communications should somehow express the concept that Middle
Earth is an enclosed universe of its own (and make editing easier as
an added value).
