''Sigh, but these don't have to have their __only__ link being to !CategoryFooBar, just that that is at least __one__ of their links. A Wiki:WalledGarden is one where the Gardeners remove pages leading out of them and tend to their gardens vigerously not letting anyone in, which is certainly not the intent here. Pages like [PDF] already link to PostScript for instance, so I imagine over time theres going to be a lot of cross linkage from Programming languages.''
''If you have a better solution I'm willing to hear it, but this page is clearly unmaintainable in it's current size, and [IMHO] should be split up, if you can see a better solution than be sure to enlighten us. -- PerryLorier''

+''I guess I see where Craig is going at (or is he?) - when pages belonging to a category aren't linked to from anywhere else, they'll show up as orphaned because the category page does not link to them either. (Although Craig was not very clear about his concern so it took me a while to understand.) That's a valid point actually. [BST] will appear orphaned once the references to it are cleaned from this page, f.ex. I'm not sure what to do about that; probably the only solution is to list such pages on the category's companion page manually (which is effort I wanted to remove with this refactoring in the first place). Hmm.. --AristotlePagaltzis''
