I am using the Special:Categories to get a list of categories.
this generates a list. however, some of the links go to pages, and some to categories.
eg I get a mix of links like this: http://wiki.pikkle.com/index.php/Category:Community
which works fine, but also this: http://wiki.pikkle.com/index.php?title=Category:Customization&action=edi...
which just gives a normal page with the name of the category. (and therefore no way of finding pages which exist within that cat).
Any ideas?
Is there also a way to generate inline a list of pages that ref a category? So i could for exmaple write an intro the category, and then have the auto-generated links underneath?
Thanks!

Categories need a text in them before the listings of their content is visible.
i already though about changing this in my install.

In the user preferences under tab "Editing", one can check "Show preview on first edit", that should solve the issue.
To set it globaly, edit your LocalSettings.php file and add: $wgDefaultUserOptions ( 'previewonfirst' => 1, 'previewontop' =>1 );
This way everyone will get a preview of the text when clicking a non existent article. For category it will show the list of articles.
