This seems as much about the weaknesses inherent to ad-hoc taxonomies as anything. Once you give people the means to organize their stuff into trees, you always get a few folks who go hog wild and get a little too fixated on divvying things up.

Agreed on these thoughts on ad-hoc taxonomies. The first Confluence page any team should create is their Taxonomy plan, with what goes where. Additionally, when creating a taxonomy you need to think of the "WHO" are the documents for. Some teams have docs for internal vs external stakeholders. The tone of those docs would be different. (external in this case are still people internal to the company, but on different teams.)
