Thread:Project:Support desk/Pages not populating Category pages

Sqlite3 3.3.6 MediaWiki 1.18.0 (Had same problem with 1.17) PHP 5.3.8

The wiki in question is on a work-related VPN, so I am unable to provide a link to the page. Code may be posted if requested.

Even when I have disabled all extensions I'm still having this issue.

I add pages to a category:  is placed in the wikitext of a page. The rendered page shows at the bottom: Category:

I have checked the category and categorylinks database tables; they are properly populated. The DynamicPageList plugin renders the links to child pages when I specify a Category as follows:  category = .

However, the Category: pages *themselves* constantly display: "This category currently contains no pages or media."

Please advise.

Thanks!
