Suggestion:  Why not use the namespace 'Design' rather than 'Proposal'?

Rationale: a Proposal is a proposed design, and a final implementation is, well, an implementation of that design. So what the thing "is" does not change, but its status (proposal vs implemented) does. And, in fact, there can even be a third status: obsolete. In other words "that used to be the design". Those should be documented too!

What is needed is a clear signpost, right at the top, which differentiates what status a Design is in.

I'm all for improving organization of the wiki but I'm not sure about this 
idea. What happens when
a proposal gets implemented? You can't just move the page to a new address. You 
can create a new
wiki page describing the final dsign that was implemented and replace the 
content of the proposal
page with a redirection. But that menas more mess in the wiki namespace.

Hello,

Would it be better to organize proposals under one namespace? Right now
they belongs to root namespace, so title index
( https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/TitleIndex ) is hard to use.

I was going to start new page describing language extension, but I don't
want do increase entropy even more. What about creating special
namespace, e.g. "Proposals"? Probably makes sense to divide if farther?

Thanks,
Yuras
