Pretty much the main reason I picked Dokuwiki was that it has
hierarchical namespaces, something most (all?) other wiki software
lacks.

But then, all my wikis contain several very distinct subject
areas, with similar topics within each subject. Creating a
new wiki for each subject would be a nightware. Whenever I've
had to disambiguate pages on flat wikis, it always seems to
come down to a poor-man's namespace anyway (e.g., using
<namespace>_<topic> as the page name).
