As usual, the hierarchical organisation has reached its limits,
and a tag based categorisation would be more useful..

Also, generating the wiki pages from a BibTeX file, or database,
for easy maintenance/referencing, would help. A long time ago,
I wrote a Perl script to generate a hierarchical HTML index
from BibTeX, by simply copying each entry to every category
it mentioned in a tag list - these days, one would write that in
Haskell, but there are online tools for similar jobs, such as
citeulike.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citeulike

So you could try selecting the references you're interested in
and give them a tag that makes them easier to find

http://www.citeulike.org/search/all?q=ghc+garbage

has some hits, but is far from unambiguous.

PS There are of course, gc-specific bibliographies, such as
