I am not asking for too many layers but more than zero and I am far
from theory. :)
Please excuse me sharing some practice that can be maybe of general value.

Picking right and short title / URL is the way to avoid later
modification. Moving and removing pages can be performed by admins.
A good start for a new simple page is to have it named in a generic
way and have with everything inside. You have Talks Resources but
shall notice we have no Talks page so this is the point to start. You
can add Resources section there and reorganize later if the page is
huge. This is also how wikimedia's projects work, then extract to
content to separate pages if it's already too big. Except they can
afford (staff) to use graphs (via Mediawiki Category) exclusively, not
just subpage trees.

The mediawiki's search engine favors page titles so if you use
Resources we will all be getting them in results also while looking
for Qt Resources (QRC), KDE PIM resources and so on. [1]

I am not sure you used the namespace anywhere in this context:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces or it is just
accidental. We've covered subpages, pages, sections and categories,
not namespaces which we IMHO should avoid.

Cheers.
