Well, I say relatively easy... there's two basic ways, via the DW
software by deleting and re-creating (via cut and paste), or a dirtier
way by renaming directories on the file system.

As I was saying to Chip earlier, you could imagine it as keeping an
active file drawer. How would you organize your files in this way? If
you thought of a better way to reorganize your data, you'd relabel
your folders, move files, and possibly reformat some documents, right?
It's easy, and sure it takes time, but it's usually worth doing in the
end.

My advice to Chip though is more along the lines of "decide something
now, prepare to change it in the future." Treat it as something more
organic, that needs to grow over time, cultivated.

I don't know your situation exactly, but if it's worth changing, it
might be worth going through by hand to fix. I don't use a lot of
automatic tools for these kind of things myself, if that's what you're
asking.

Getting all the internal and external urls can be done like this:

cat file.txt | grep \\[\\[
cat file.txt | grep http

Where file.txt is either a specifc wiki page or wildcard for all pages
in a namespace.
