A page is for the actual content, a the discussion page is for comments 
about the page itself.

In general, please read the guidelines here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Writer_Guide

There and in the links to mediawiki.org you'll find everything you need 
to know.

No, what you see there is just a work in progress to change the 
rigging/animation part

The structure is the one you see at
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Manual

There has been discussion here in the near past, have a look at previous 
posts.

The consensus is to get a better 2.4 docs for now and at due time we'll 
adapt the 2.4 manual to 2.5 (screenshots etc.)

The structure of the 2.5 index has been discussed some months ago and 
will seesome changes in the next future, in order to have less sections 
with chapters are subsections, similar to what you propose, but not that 
drastic :)

Regards,
Luca
