This particular facet of wiki usage is not too difficult, fortunately
-- use English for page names, not slashes.

I just corrected a few pages linked from the [[Marketing]] page; it's
pretty easy to do.  Just check "What links here" on the side for a
page you're going to rename, making sure that you correct all the main
namespace ones.  I typically don't change links on users' personal
pages or translated pages when I move a page name.
