Declan, I think we can develop well structured content in no more than three levels under the root directory, depending of the nature of the project. Subpages permit similar Titles (maybe absolutely necesary for two or more projects) can cohabit without interence between one to each other. That's in my opinion the point.
Word Titles like: Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Economy, etc. should be reserved to be used in the most generic sense under the root directory. Please see these pages: http://www.wikieducator.org/Mathematics http://www.wikieducator.org/Chemistry <----- this is a great resource http://www.wikieducator.org/Physics http://www.wikieducator.org/Astronomy <--- An invitation from Günther http://www.wikieducator.org/Geometry <---- I created this page by mistake and many others. I agree with you, lets be as flat as we can. But sometimes some verticality is absolutely necessary, to prevent interferences. I think you agree with me in this principles: 1. Personal pages under root directory 2. Additional personal info UNDER Personal pages. 3. Project Pages under root directory 4. The necessary subpages for consistency and prevention of interferences. I don't know any automated way to fix the links. I have onlye made some manual redirectings of pages in order to send them to other levels or to change their titles. Big advantage of this feature is that you don't lose the history of your editings, but the page that has been redirected, keeps blocked for future uses in the system. I really whould like to know if there are specific policies regarding to valid reasons to structure data in various levels. I've already done this in the Math Glossary and Math Tables and Formulas.
