Based on the above diagram, most pages should be less than three levels deep into the content namespace. The chain of namespaces can continue indefinitely, and new namespaces should be added if the pages on specific topics get long enough to be cumbersome. Often, all relevant discussion can be fit on a single page by using subheadings:

     ~~~
      |
      *-> magic
      |    |
      |    *-> school (brainstorm:magic:school:start)
      |         |
      |         *-> enchantment (brainstorm:magic:school:enchantment)
     ~~~
                     -Enchantment school split

                     -Viability of non-stabbing enchanters

                     -Frequency of MR-immune monsters
 

Naturally, subheadings can (and should!) include links to other articles. Likewise, if initiating discussion, it would be a good idea to include links to that discussion on relevant pages. It's much better to hold discussion in one place and point to it in many places than to have a discussion scattered along a dozen pages. Feel free to move comments others have made in accordance with this principle.
