OK, so there are two issues: Where to put the in-between pages, and best displaying the lists of pages from multiple namespaces in the end.

Now that I'm aking a closer look at how the wiki-style forums are actually set up, I go back to this earlier comment ''Though I don't like the List namespace for the inbetween pages... ^^; Mainly because it break the other pages that use namespace in their wiki-style forum.'' I'm still not sure what difference it makes? As long as the pages remain categorized as they are, and "namespace=Forum" parts in the higher level pages are changed uniformly, wouldn't they appear the same regardless of what namespace they're in? I'm not sure which things would get broken.

Really, other than having a "This Forum has been archived" message that might make people think everything in there is old, keeping the organizational pages in Forum wouldn't be so bad. It doesn't seem like something that would need much editing except when there are new groups/members to add. The real action would be going on in the end pages in other namespces.

About the displaying of things from multiple namespaces, I wonder if a template could be made to simplify things? could list everything from Side/Gallery/List or whatever. It would kind of ruin the way things are ordered by the Last Edit column--though really since these aren't actual forums I'm not sure time-based ordering is a plus. Looking at other ways of displaying things from a category, categorytree might be good. Lacks the last editor and last edit time, but has other abilities like specifying all/some/one namespaces.

Will rename it make it possible for any user to edit it? I haven't searched up or tested this elsewhere, but I was assuming it will just automatically consider everything in Forum: as in a protected state. Probably renaming pages to another namespace would automatically get rid of that, but I guess there's some possibility we'd still have to unprotect it manually.
