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/".
