talk:too_much_structure

I don't like this name. Perhaps “Organic Structure” or “Grow Structure Organically”. That also allows this to become a Pattern instead of an Anti-Pattern.

Jason,
How about creating a pattern page called “ [OrganicGrowth] ”? I like your idea of turning the anti-pattern into a pattern, so would you be willing to write what you think is important about growing organically? I would however, suggest keeping the Subdivision page (and adding a prominent link to the [OrganicGrowth] page? since the anti-pattern pages are intended to help people recognize potential (or occurring) problems with their wikis.

On this topic, I'd like to know if anyone has discussed the varying strengths and weaknesses of wikis with a built-in hierarchy, vs thosewith none at all.  My company currently has a “tree” wiki, and there are a lot of users who really want something like Mediawiki that has no inherent structure.  Where could I find an intelligent comparison of these things?
