Well, I'm not sure the leading slash has been established yet.  I
think I'm at the point where I need to see everything summarized in
a single place.  I propose:

On this page let's keep the explanations short and simple--more like
a reference than a complete guide.

Well, my needs are (have always been) very well satisfied by PmWiki's one-level
grouping scheme, so I'm not really "wanting" anything.  To support a
hierarchical scheme I'd need something that is simple to explain, simple
to use, allows people to easily know how to create a link to whatever
target page they want, and doesn't present the potential for a lot of
unwanted surprises.
