Having the structure in the name would mean you have to change every article name if you want to change the structure. Even worse, there may be different structures in one wiki.

I regard this as counter-productive. Here is why: You can change a work like a diploma thesis or a wiki from one structure to the other. Changing the structure means you change the headings and by this, you provide a difference cognitive approach to the topic. E.g. at the moment we have:
  • KDE
    • tutorials
      • kioslaves
We could also have
  • KDE
    • kioslaves
      • tutorial
