Probably, killing the dozens of internal WMF wikis would go a long way to reduce the problem. It's not so difficult, if there is will.

Both Editing[1] and Search & Discovery[2] have been criticized in their Discussion pages. Reading[3] doesn't have complaints yet, but is newer.
Non-confusing naming is important on any wiki with more than a few hundreds pages, not just on mediawiki.org. On Meta, such titles would probably redirect to help pages.
Speaking of which, this conversation seems to have forgotten documentation. Most of the time, WMF teams "forget" to create (translatable) help pages for their software, which is supposed to be available on mediawiki.org; as a result, people often have to resort to project descriptions or even status updates to get help. An example of completely undocumented feature is Echo; among the most used help pages we have Translate, VisualEditor and CirrusSearch.
Special:Search and Special:MovePage are two more things which are very easy within a wiki and very hard across wikis.
