Create a normal redirect page, but put a colon before the word "category" in the link: #redirect [[:category:Martians]] This seems to work for me.

This won't work. It will redirect to a page which contains the category introduction text, but won't display any of the pages that are in that category. Compare http://www.wikicities.com/index.php/User:Angela/Category_redirect_test and http://www.wikicities.com/index.php/Category:Help Angela.

[[category:bumfoozled]] I never noticed! This is listed at Mediazilla as bug #710. Sorry for the bad info.

Which makes it all the odder that cat:csd does work (I tried creating c:csd a while back and found it didn't work).
