I can see why that would be desirable for Wikipedia
articles, but I don't think we should feel bound by
it for our project pages.  For the ERR5RS project,
the pages naturally divide up into independent parts
with nice modularity, and putting those parts on
separate pages makes it easier for people to work
on the parts that match their expertise and interest
without interfering with or being distracted by work
on unrelated parts.

For ERR5RS, the wiki pages aren't likely to be the
final form of the project anyway.  We're more likely
to end up with a group of related SRFIs and reference
implementations, and possibly with LaTeX and/or HTML
documents.  Even if we decide to publish the finished
project in wiki format, it should be no big deal to
combine pages that were developed separately.
