Thanks Frank - I'll look into those. I already have a clean MediaWiki
install to play with, so I'll try some things as you suggest.
Many thanks! :)

Maybe also subpages.
I did play with Frank's suggestions. Not come across subpages - will
look at these - ta :)
I did try out one of the "competition's offerings" - specifically the
GPL version of Mindtouch.
Without comparing absolute merits of various offerings, and not wishing
to insult anyone here - it may be that Mindtouch's approach suits the
target users better.
The MediaWiki way is workable, but with manual maintenance of namespace
prefixes or categories required, I have a bad feeling as the target
users do not have a technical background on the whole.
A simple approach of "be in the right place" and "click new page" to get
an implicit hierarchy is probably what they are after, based on an
initial chat with them.
But I will certainly follow on with MediaWiki some more - there will be
other projects for which the power and flexibility will be useful.
Cheers!
