+1 for this, I don't like too nested namespaces as well, it makes it "not
as easy" to point people to the correct pages in IRC or the forum. I am a
little bit concerned about the forum though, it's a big knowledge base of its
own (as are the mailing list archives) - so good working redirects are
mandatory.

I agree on all points until here ;-).

Hmmm, I think it's ok to rename the page but I don't agree with the one page
per template idea. The template page as it is now serves also as some sort of
gallery with all the thumbnails, which I think gives a good overview about
what templates are available. Some templates are hosted at wiki.splitbrain.org
and some are not, for those which aren't this would just duplicate information
rather than adding some. I wouldn't touch this part of the Wiki, and just keep
it as is.

+1 on everything else.

We also should do this only when we know that we have enough people together
to get it done in one weekend. Remember how long it took to add all the "meta
data" to the available plugin pages. We should not underestimate the needed
effort. IMHO we should at least get ~10 people together for this job.
