To | To fork or not to fork that is the question. It is natural to presume that the wiki softare will be either: | ||
#MediaWiki unmodified | |||
#MediaWiki modified | |||
#A fork of MediaWiki | |||
#Something else? | |||
Which one of these alternatives makes sense is an open question | |||

If a modified version will be used it makes sense to use many more namespaces to make the wiki more manageable, but on the other hand using standard MediaWiki has many advantages. Using unmodified MediaWiki would just require stricter syntax within the articles | If a modified version will be used it makes sense to use many more namespaces to make the wiki more manageable, but on the other hand using standard MediaWiki has many advantages.

There are good sides to both approaches. When thinking about companies an outline of multiple articles might be something like | |||
* [[Company X]] - containing basic identification, [[product group]]s, [[brand]]s, [[product]]s etc. | |||
* [[Company X/economy]] | |||
* [[Company X/history]] | |||
* [[Company X/affiliated businesses]] | |||
* [[Company X/executives]] | |||
* [[Company X/advertising]] | |||
* [[Company X/labor practices]] | |||
