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 can give my articles names that fit into this wiki's structure but I would find it sad. --[[User:Tstaerk|Tstaerk]] 14:08, 24 September 2008 (CEST) | :Having the structure in the name would mean you have to change every article name if you want to change the structure.

- 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
- tutorials
- KDE
- We could also have
- KDE
- kioslaves
- tutorial
- kioslaves
- KDE
- 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. Imagine someone writing a second main page named "KDE by technologies". One sub-topic would be kioslaves. The breathtaking strength of a mediawiki is that every article can define a structure on its own, the only given structure being the categories.
