Thanks, that helps in that I don't have to put the entire URL in the link but they still show up like external links with that little icon next to them. Is there no way around this? ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Rotem Liss Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 12:27 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Linking to a specific version of a page -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Frederich, Eric P2173 wrote: [{{fullurl:Foo|oldid=123}} Foo] - -- #define Name RotemLiss #define Mail mail-AT-rotemliss-DOT-com #define Site www.rotemliss.com #define KeyFingerPrint 4AFD 8579 A449 4267 BED9 38E5 6EF8 5B1F EBDE 7AC0 _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

The problem is with the way you are adding the categories. I looked at the page Mozart a hudba v Európe (projekt Sokrates, 2006-2009) and found the category link there as follows: [[Category:Projekty školy|Projekty školy]] When you add a category, you can optionally pass in a parameter (here it is "Projekty školy") that you wish the current page to be listed on the category page as. YOU are the one telling it to be listed under "P". To correct, simply replace the category link with the simpler version, as follows: [[Category:Projekty školy]] That will add the current page to the Projekty školy category using it's pagename.

Of course, this was no bug but a gaffe on my part. I've been using the [[Category:Foo]] links all along to assign pages to categories, of course, but did not realize it was them when attempting to link to categories from within the body of a text. <oops> Hope you don't mind I've credited you, for enlightening us, on our bugs page's Talk page: http://tinyurl.com/pbdue . Among the 12 remaining ones we'd like to solve is another one related to Categories that has been mystifying us: alphabet lists on category pages simply do not work. Here's a category, http://tinyurl.com/pavsv , and as you can see, it lists pages with the initial letters R, D, M under the letter P. Deleting those pages and setting up new pages with identical titles does not solve the problem -- the pages get assigned to the letter P again. -- Yours, Alex.
