It seems easier to keep all within one wiki, but perhaps restrict
these categories of articles to be subpages of two wiki pages:
Wikipedia (for policies) and Wikipedian (for user presentations).

[[LA2]] would become [[Wikipedian/LA2]].  Not too bad if you ask me.

[[Spelling rules for Wikipedia]] would become [[Wikipedia/Spelling rules]].

The RecentChanges list and "view other versions" display would have to
link my contributions to [[Wikipedian/LA2]] instead of [[LA2]].  This
is a trivial fix in the wiki.pl script.  Probably much easier that
making it work with links to a separate wiki.

Initially, the old page titles would have to be #REDIRECTs to the new
entries, but that is a transition headache that we will face anyway.
