That's what I've started doing, just as you describe, but I've called
the main page LaptopTestingTeam/Makes.
But for now I thought I'd concentrate on the reorganisation instead of
arguing to move LaptopTestingTeam to LaptopTestingTeam/Makes. That
discussion can be had later.

This is where I agree with you but suggest we just do the
reorganisation, to move all the existing pages would create some
problems. What I've started gives us
/LaptopTestingTeam/Dell
which lists and links to all the dells, eg it links to
/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron9000
Not an ideal solution but good enough for now I think, I'd like to see
future, or updated reports moved into this structure.

How does it affect the Testing template?

Do you mean change it to look like the temporary page I've been working
on LaptopTestingTeam/Makes ?

I've added one into the next template: LaptopTestingTeamTemplateNext

I absolutely agree that LaptopTestingTeam has the potential to become
LaptopSupportTeam, a place where anyone can find help for their laptop.
But at the moment it's a nerd's playground.
We are very explicitly not another support forum. I doubt this is
going to change very much in the near future.
I like the idea of linking by scripts, just not moving pages. Feel
free to go ahead and do that. As for a testing form-ng, please go
ahead and work on that as well. Just be careful about how much you add
to it.
Cheers,
Corey
