Thanks, actually that helped a great deal. It appears that you went
only 1 level deep. That must mean that you have a great deal of files
inside each one. Given that I am thinking about only taking mine 2
levels deep, instead of 3 or 4.
Topic:Sub-topic.
Thus one of my kingdoms would be
Atlas:Dakarian_Kingdom
under Dakarian_Kingdom there would exist a bunch of pages.
Sub-areas would then be under the atlas namespace, no matter how many
kingdoms they entail. Continents contain far more than sub-areas of
the continent.
Consider Europe vs. Iberian Peninsula both contain Spain but only
Europe contains Germany.
