As far as OOoES is concern we use spanish for the title of the pages. i.e. HowToBeginner -> ComoPrincipiantes So people will be googling for something on their own language which makes it a complete different term to search to.

You are not searching on URL (ie Wiki URL), you are searching on content... content which is in whatever language on the Wiki. The URL is largely irrelevant to the end user - unless he or she is trying to manually type it in of course. From a search, how often does anyone ever look at the entire URL to decide if a page is relevant? You look at the content snippet that Google returns and the Page Title (which can be set by using {{DISPLAYTITLE:Localized_title}}.


I do agree for documentation porpouses is good to have a folder wrapping things up, but for some reason changing a category seems less disruptive than to move pages to subfolder. It also more time consuming since there are more steps involved.

It's all in the idea stage right now. The main focus for me is to gain a little structure to the documentation side of the Wiki. This does not mean that the entire Wiki should or must follow whatever organizational method we eventually decide on... but at least for the documentation section, we do need to have something in place to help manage the existing docs, and the various translations that are starting to appear. Without it, things will be rather messy and hard to sort out in the long term. Other ideas are more than welcome :-)

Any moves do not need to be overly disruptive. We do have a WikiBot available to help with that, and redirects to ensure that any external and internal links remain valid.
