 ''There has been some discusson lately regarding this refactor, which I now refactor. If you create a bunch of pages and link them all to !CategoryFooBar, then their only 'connection' to the wiki is through the !CategoryFooBar page. Therefore, they will show up if we build an !OrphanedPages listing, and it is one of my personal wishes to see that list tend towards zero.'' 
  
 ''Chances are, however, they probably link to one another, and may tend down the way of a Wiki:WalledGarden if anything. This was my concern. Also, there is no method for category listings to give a summary of the pages they are linking to. -- CraigBox''

+''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''
