I'm all for improving organization of the wiki but I'm not sure about this idea. What happens when a proposal gets implemented? You can't just move the page to a new address. You can create a new wiki page describing the final dsign that was implemented and replace the content of the proposal

Suggestion: Why not use the namespace 'Design' rather than 'Proposal'? Rationale: a Proposal is a proposed design, and a final implementation is, well, an implementation of that design. So what the thing is does not change, but its status (proposal vs implemented) does. And, in fact, there

Hello, Would it be better to organize proposals under one namespace? Right now they belongs to root namespace, so title index ( https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/TitleIndex ) is hard to use. I was going to start new page describing language extension, but I don't want do increase entropy
