I don't think the potential for collision is too bad: in those cases in which we have collisions, we can simply create a page listing the multiple possible meanings, something along the lines of: > Format > > There are the following pages about this: > > * Eggs: > - format > - format-modular > * Procedures: > - format at the format-modular egg For the egg pages we would simply prefix them (so format-modular would become egg-format-modular). This is just what wikipedia does. I think the advantage of not requiring users to type the "sym:" or "sym/" each time they use this functionality is larger than the disadvantage of having the clashes. Basically, think of it as just one namespace where a user can search for pretty much anything and expect to find something useful.
