I do add them to the page that belongs in the category. But
apparently, something is broken because they never show up on the
Categories page as an alphabetical list.

Hi Sandy,
You don't add them to the Category page, you add them to the page
that belongs in the category. In your example, go to the Fish,
Ebeneezer page and add [[Category:People]]

I've asked this question before, but
didn't receive any solution.
Why can't I add pages to Categories? I am using version 1.6.9
As an example, just to make sure I'm adding them correctly, at the
bottom of the page, I am putting the following:
[[Category:People|Fish, Ebenezer]]
If I go to the Special:Categories, it shows:
3. People (6 links)
If I then click on People, it takes me to Category:People but
nothing shows up other than the simple text I included explaining
what the category is for. None of the People category links are
shown. Only my overview. Is the category page normally
automatically populated with everything linking there, or am I
supposed to put some sort of template code on it?
The most likely cause of this problem is that something got broken
when I upgraded from an earlier version because the categories I had
in there before are still present, but if I hadn't already created
the category page, I no longer can because I receive the following
error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: openshowcategory() in
/home/trees/wiki/includes/EditPage.php on line 1126
Since I can edit one that existed prior to the upgrade to 1.6.9, it
seems to me that something in the above named function must create
the category pages and now that it's "undefined", that procedure is
not being executed.
Can anyone help me here? I can't upgrade any further because the
webserver I'm on isn't using PHP 5.
