I wanted to keep my opinion out of the original post, but I would like to share a few of my perceived pros and cons.

For one, I view Wikitext (the markup language used by the Mediawiki platform, which this wiki uses) as a small part of the whole ecosystem. It's important to understand how it works, but it's not the whole picture.

I also see the Wiki Style Guide as a guide to general stylistic things, grammar, other high level constructions. A recommendation to use wikitext and the source editor for wiki editing would fit here, but not, as I see it, a comprehensive overview of Wikitext and the Mediawiki Template/Namespace system.

As far as the difference between using  as a namespace for documentation and a custom namespace  is not particularly significant, it's just different organizational style, although I my opinion a Custom namespace would be cleaner than sub-paging.

A Category is probably generally useful no matter what else we decide.
