Id propose outlining the basic hierarchy like so:

The bold words will be the page name.

The bit in [] just a note as to what it represents (not shown else). {} is a suggestion/something waiting to be filled out.

just a demo here, not meant to be actual organization:

Manual [We anticipate multiple different types of manuals]
- SpeciesFile [We can anticipate multiple "products" from SF]
  - Web [Particular to the web front end]
    - - {Some category}
- Developer

Programming (Background on the data architecture and underlying development environment, data tables and more)
- Table relationships
- Table structure
- Access levels
Administration
- Edit log
- Object id's
- Secure functions
- Restricted taxon changes
Managing users
Lists
- List of Species Files
- List of Test Programs
- List of video tutorials
- List of (biodiversity informatics) acronyms (GBIF, TDWG, LSIDs)
Public
- (see manual)
Biodiversity informatics community resources
- Biodiversity Heritage Library
- Biodiversity Collections Index
- GBIF
Editing:Overview [The primary means of working with data - kind of a wastebasket category)
- Taxon pages
  - nomenclator
  - external links
  - scrutiny
  - ecology
  - LSID's
- Specimens
  - primary types
  - repositories
- Media types
  - Images
  - Sounds
  - Videos
  - PDFs
- Distributions and Maps
  - TDWG area maps
  - Google maps
  - Faunal lists
- References
  - Citations
  - Publications
  - Authors
- People
- Test Programs
- Data source
- Keys
- Import and export
- Fossils and extinct taxa
- Search functions
