Maybe I haven't set something up correctly but I have (to me) some strange category behaviour: when I put text on a category page, all the links in that category disappear, and the pages which have that category gain the text which I add!
e.g. on the following page, there is the category "Schools", when I go to the "Schools" category and add some text, the 2 schools listed disappear. http://en.tervuren.treekee.com/wiki/British_Primary
(If you ALL try this at once it will be difficult to follow. Please feel free to create "dummy" categories to test with. The site is still in test-only mode.)
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks.
Hugh
There's nothing wrong with your categories as far as I can tell. I put in a small descriptive text on the category page, and both pages in it appear on the category list.
Best wishes, Morten

I think you include the category page as a template ({{Category:Schools}}), instead of including the page in the cateogry ([[Category:Schools]]). I've just fixed it.
Ahhhhh..........that would explain it!
Thanks Rotem
