Okay I guess that was a little bit unclear ;-) What I meant is that
hierarchical breadcrumbs only make sense with a deep structure, but
wiki's tend to stay in a very flat hierarchy. I've haven't seen
senseful use of more than 2 (in very rare cases 3) namespaces... And
usually you tend to stay in the same namespace. For example most people
using the wiki at splitbrain will always stay in the wiki namespace and
switch between multiple pages inside this namespace (eg between the
install and the config page) - a "last visited pages" makes much more
sense in this case then a hierarchical "start > wiki > install".
