!!!Categories in this Wiki
-The following are all categories that exist within this WikiWikiWeb.
+Don't know where to start? You might like to browse pages on a particular topic.
The following are all categories that exist within this WikiWikiWeb:
+
+<?plugin BackLinks noheader||=1 include_self||=?>
-<?plugin BackLinks ?>
-----
To add something to a category page, add at the bottom of the page a link to the Category page (for example as done on this page) and use the BackLinks plugin. To link to a Category page use "Category:categoryname" style links.

''Is there a good/standard way to do hierarchical
categories? e.g. !CategoryProgramming/!CategoryDataStructures, or similar''
+
+Pick something you don't think will be too specific, but isn't too vague (I've avoided making a !CategorySystemAdministration for example, but !CategoryNetworking is a pretty good idea.)
+
+''Why don't wiki links (!Category:Category) work on backlinks?''
+
+Because then you could never link to a category without actually making the page part of that category! You'll note that while there is a !Category:Category link at the bottom of this page, !CategoryCategory isn't in the list above.
+
+''So... Use [WikiWord]s to link back to the parent Category, but when generally saying "Go here", use : links?''
+
+Pretty much. Using a WikiWord will also make the parent category ''link back to you'', which is the important part.
