Michael, Whilst combining wikis has its value, and it takes some time to reach limits, if you do so carefully they can be easy to pull apart later.
If you have a way to logically keep two wikis separate make use of this fact and keep it separate, there are plenty of integration options while keeping them separate. Tiddlywikis work well as smart documents as well. I have a large consolidated personal organiser but I am now starting to move projects or clients out to their own wiki because I can customise and grow them further without overlapping the functionality of the key wiki, however I keep project metadata in the key wkii to drive regular reviews and project level time frames, but the project wiki has all the detail. Having a wiki edition for say project makes creating a new project easier. In my tiddlywiki development suite I have dozens if not hundreds of wikis, usually created to some "end" in particular, or subject, once the activity comes to a close the essence is extracted and packaged and the original wiki archived. I then place the result in a consolidated wiki. Integrations - Jeds bob wiki has a number of integrations will all its child wikis, whilst I place dev wikis under it, one consolidates resources which I drag to the wiki in use, eg images, icons. - another has all the plugins I come across, another my business plan, another social media content in writing - Mohammad's indexing solution .https://kookma.github.io/TW-Searchwikis/ is a great advance for integration, even fo0r single file wikis, you can include locally searchable content that comes from another wiki, with links to that content. - TiddlyWikis versatility allows numerous integrations and interactions at a designer and user perspective you can make almost anything as an integration - Eg you can drag and drop between one wiki and another in an iframe in the current wiki.
