On my wiki, I use:
characters:
guide:
location: (specific places, eg restaurants, capital building, etc)
planet: (planets)
species:
system: (star systems)
Each major organization also has its own namespace. Sometimes the
namespacers are multiple levels, eg
http://stararmy.com/wiki/doku.php?id=stararmy:starships:plumeria_gunship
but this is fairly rare.
All characters currently go in the central character namespace, but I
am considering making a character namespace in each faction's
namespace.
I couldn't stand it back when I had everything on the root name-space
(it was a jumbled mess and very slow or impossible to search) so I
eventually created namespaces.
