142, you've falled behind from the technology we have at hand. Like if there are a set of pages that deal with some issue in common to them all it imho definatelly be wiki best practice to use a category for connecting those pages.

Not necessarily. Not if there is no wikitext standard way to do this across all major wikis. Just mediawiki alone is not enough. Stupid link converters can deal with link to this page, but it takes a lot more to deal with categories as a whole.

Also navigational Templates could be put to good use to simplify getting a good picture of the whole issue that involves many pages. See w:Wikipedia:Navigational_templates for those --Juxo 19:35, 27 Aug 2005 (GMT)

That might be so. But again there is no standard.
And if tikiwiki and tiddlywiki are still options, and I think they are, then, it is dangerous to rely on mediawiki's latest features.
Besides there is no agreement yet at talk:categories on the existing ones that you proposed, some of which are fine, some of which are bogus or just have errors in names.
