If it's on the long side, I'd say the page needs to be retitled to
something easier to find/remember.  Reverse the redirect such that the
long name redirects to Games or Kid's Games.

Is there any way to configure Metawiki such that the pages have a more
human-parsable URL?  For example, the cohousing page at Wikipedia is
simply:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohousing

I didn't cut and paste that, it was from memory.  And I can easily
look something up by changing "Cohousing" to whatever topic it is I'm
looking for.  Right now the cohowiki's URLs are less user-friendly...
if we could configure them in the same manner as Wikipedia's, I think
that would add significant usability.
