Today I've been trying to get [[Templates]] and [[Categories]] to cooperate in such a way that pages could be tagged with a template that automatically lists it in a category so that we could coordinate cleaning this wiki up, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I'll work on the issue though I'm quite busy trying to get through a book on [[marketing]] that I have an exam on on monday. But today I got evidence that sometimes studying pays off. I run across a mention of [[Consumer Reports]] while reading for the exam. An independent organisation that's been protecting and advicing [[consumer]]s since [[1936]] is surely a notable player and thus it's web-publicationclearly belongs in [[Essential projects]] unlike some obscure crap that's populated the [[Essential projects]]-article | Today I've been trying to get [[Templates]] and [[Categories]] to cooperate in such a way that pages could be tagged with a template that automatically lists it in a category so that we could coordinate cleaning this wiki up, but I'm having trouble getting it to work.

The friendly folks at #mediawiki @ freenode informed me that this is a known bug and to get the [[Category]] to display those pages that have been categorized into it a category link embedded into the template need to be edited without any changes made and saved and then the category link starts to work. | |||
