+The MediaWiki moving/renaming mechanism is pretty nice.  It's easy to get a list of pages that point to the current page.  When renaming a page it sticks a forwarding page in the original place.  The larger the size of the wiki the more important organization tools become.
+
+I see the need for:
+
+* a new type of file to represent a forwarding page
+* a rename tool that can
+  * move the existing page to the new name
+  * optionally drop a forwarding page
+  * optionally rewrite incoming links to the new location
