Categories in this Wiki

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:

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 WikiWords to link back to the parent Category, but when generally saying "Go here", use : links?
