New page

Categories were introduced to [[MediaWiki]] in version 1.3.0 which is not currently running here.

Categories are basically automatic '''two-way hyperlinks''' where when you add a page to a category by adding <nowiki>[[Category:SomeCategory]]</nowiki> to the bottom of the page a link is created to the category from the article '''and''' to the article from the category, thus it is a two-way hyperlink.

Categories may be nested ie. they may contain sub-catogories.

Preliminary plans are to use categories in [[Research Wiki pilot]] for at least [[Product Group]]s where product groups are represented as Categories (to enable grouping of [[product]]s and [[product substitution]] suggestions) and [[Campaign]]s (to determine that one doesn't accidentally vote for more then one campaign in each campaign category). Products will be tied to a Product Group category as precise as possible.

Other uses may rise.
