Perhaps y'all should take a look at redirects, for the purposes of SEO. Over on the Code Lyoko Wiki, the average page has 1.5 redirects, which is necessary in our case, and in terms of Google search results, we're usually on the first page. Not only does this increase the inbound linking to pages which would have otherwise not been noticed, but a wider variety of associated terms means that your pages are more in line with how people look for things, which adds views.

Here's the tricks we tend to use:
 * If anything is from another language originally, and translated for this wiki, have the original language name as a redirect. In the case of the Code Lyoko wiki, our episode pages all have redirects with the french episode titles, because the series was originally in french, and translated. This might actually be more effective here, since practically everything on this wiki probably has a source in Hebrew or Latin.
 * People abbreviate names in different ways, so be prepared for this. For example, in our wiki, the page for Jeremie redirects to Jeremie Belpois.
 * Be prepared for multiple accepted spellings. We have to deal with this to a small degree, because there's more than one way to write certain names. This will actually work better here, because the bible has been transliterated and translated enough times, one could make a drinking game out of it.
 * Have redirects to accommodate for diacritical marks. Not everyone can easily type the accent marks, tildes, or umlauts used in various languages. If the page has the diacritic in the page name, have a redirect with an identical name, without the diacritic, so it's easier for people to type.
 * This is less likely to apply to y'all, but if there's any pages for things, places, or people who have names in Chinese, or another idiographic language, have redirects using the idiographic symbols for the name, along with all accepted associated phoneticization. "sidenote, in the phoneticization process, avoid the letter C, because it's annoying".
 * Some people have names in more than one script. For example, Noam Kaniel is from Israel, but he is a minor pop star in Japan, and has a name in Katakana for use in that area. We offer the katakana format as a redirect.
 * For stuff with a name from a hybrid phonetic/idiographic language, have redirects using each valid combination, to get the widest results.
 * Different languages have different orders and combinations of personal, generational, secondary, and familial name. Not all of these match English. This has interesting results in the translation process. Have each valid order as a redirect.
 * Exploit Unicode with all the ways you can conceive. Unicode has a lot of duplicate character sets which makes for interesting SEO tricks. For example, we have these two pages: http://codelyoko.wikia.com/wiki/ノアム・カニエル?redirect=no and http://codelyoko.wikia.com/wiki/ﾉｱﾑ･ｶﾆｴﾙ?redirect=no. These may look almost identical, and are identical from a linguistics perspective; but the only difference is the character width; because Unicode duplicated Katakana with two character widths. This may seem ineffective for this wiki, but there's at least 6 Unicode blocks for Cyrillic, which would be useful for Russian Orthodox readers.

I hope some of these are of use.
