I guess if they were just tags, then just using regular tags related to the topic would be good, but since there's some arbitrary link between tags and the page navigation (haven't figured it out yet), maybe it needs to be consistent?
IIUC (which may not be the case :-) the navigation stuff (shown as tabs on the current template) comes from namespaces, ie pages with names foo:bar:thepage name. This is a docuwiki builtin.
Summary pages like howtos and snippets use the respective tags and a plugin to generate the pages. This plugin also generates the tagcloud
Correct. Currently, the howtos index page is just a generated list based on the tags of the subpages. I don't think this is the best approach, more than a curious test how it works :). Probably it's best to write normal index pages by hand or look for a plugin which generates a proper index for a subnamespace. Again, the tag based index page isn't really good in general, I think.
Also, is there a better way for navigation than tags or however it works now? I found it very unintuitive to get a page listed in whatever the navigation part is using. Maybe there's a plugin that does a TOC (besides sitemap) based on links or something.
See above. I agree on not using the tag stuff for index pages.
