Sub-categorising
Should anyone add information here on how to put one categorry under another (subcategory)?
 * This was done a while back (but since the question was asked) --HappyDog 16:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Hiding categories
How does one hide category display?


 * You can hide the category links at the bottom of a page using CSS (e.g. ).  --HappyDog 01:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Intro
I think it's important to define what a Category is. It could be placed before the help section where it explains how to add a category, as a noob might not know what the Category does. Just a suggestion. --Hawkwynd 12:23, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. It's a wiki, so feel free to add this kind of text yourself!  In the meantime, I've added a rough-and-ready intro.  Please tweak it if you feel the need. --HappyDog 16:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

second independent category system
I want to introduce a second category system in my wiki or let me call it an "advanced Tag-System". The idea is to tag every page with some words as links - similiar to the categorie syntax. When I then click this words, I want to see a page with the content of "what links here". Besides this I want to keep the standard category tree. Have anyone has an idea, how to realize this? --87.162.127.221 13:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Try Semantic MediaWiki? --141.14.26.125 08:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Language
Could someone please add a guide on how one can change the name "Category" into something localised in other languages? --David Munch 14:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorting question...
In an interesting display, I have managed to thoroughly confuse myself with categories. When sorting using the "" suggestion, I've gotten my templates to exhibit the appropriate behavior. The category is "Templates", and the namespace is the default "Template". This works perfectly. However, when I tried this with another category (originally the same name in category as in namespace), they simply sort by the namespace. I've since renamed the category and left the namespace the same. It still sorts by the namespace. The only difference in the two situations that I can see now is that the problematic pages are also tied to another category. Do categories not sort if the pages are attached to more than one? --Lance May 18:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
