I think that an example capturing the Stefan's gist of evolving, while
still working in PmWiki could look like this (it's certainly close to what
I often encounter)

The page Linux/Hardware initially contains a section called "Sound 
cards", and so far we only have this page:  
	Linux/Hardware

Eventually that section is put on a page of its own, and we have:
	Linux/Hardware
	Linux/SoundCards

After a while we even start adding pages dedicated to specific sound
cards, but decide to put them in a separate group (because there are just
too many pages in the group Linux/). So we have:

	Linux/Hardware
	Linux/SoundCards
	...
	LinuxSoundCards/Card1
	LinuxSoundCards/Card2
	LinuxSoundCards/Card3

There's not that much changing of links required in this example. Only the
links in Linux/SoundCards will need major changes by being prepended with
"LinuxSoundCards/".
