Yes it's getting rather cluttered... in a way it's a good thing though :-) it means people are translating the doc into other languages (the most recent work is with someone setting up to translate to what appears to be Norwegian). Subdividing by language is not so difficult. The WikiBot could quickly pass over this and clean it up... well a few passes, but it shouldn't be too hard to do. There are more than this one Category that could use a clean up like this within the Documentation project. We need to put together a lits and just do it. Technically any one of us can run a bot job on the Wiki in general.. either as our own Wiki user (I can attach bot rights to a user ID) or as a general bot. Best to have bot rights added to those who can/will do some Doc area maintenance jobs since that will maintain the security (I don't like sharing around passwords for common user tools). The main WikiBot I use is pywikipediabot ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot ) which is cross platform (so it'll work in Windows too as long as you have Python installed locally). Once it's set up (it takes a little reading to get your mind around the script syntax the first few times you use it) it's pretty much a fire and forget tool. Set it up, start it on it's job.. wait until it's done.
