This sounds like a search problem we can improve on. Can you give some concrete
examples?

This sounds like a configuration problem. If we can't hand out +sysop because
it has extra permissions either we need a new group with the sysop-y rights or
can split the non-sysop-y stuff off to its own group.

More namespaces is easy if we don't want to lose meaning on them.

+1, if we're going to do it.

But I'm not convinced so -1. We have an awful time as it is duplicating
technical content & documentation and I'm pretty sure we'll do it with this new
wiki too.
