This is not unique for you or for this wiki, but a valid 
observation for the entire world wide web.  The solution is to 
accept this behaviour as a fact, and start to treat websites as 
serials (Zeitschriften), rather than monographs: Today I write 
about this, tomorrow about something else.  The blog is the 
answer.  On my wiki user page, [[user:LA2]], I keep a diary that I 
archive every quarter.  Only when I know somebody will need to 
create a link to some text (e.g. [[WikiProject Sweden]]), I create 
a new wiki page (= a name you can link to).
