Sticking a category link in a wiki page
automatically adds that wiki page
to the corresponding category page. For example, inserting
[[Category:Puppies]] adds the page to the Puppies category.
Is it possible to achieve the same result with something like
[[Category:{{#puppiesfunc}}]], where {{#puppiesfunc}} is replaced by
"Puppies"? I guess I'm wondering how the automatic population of category
pages works under the hood.
Can you state the actual problem you're trying to solve instead of the
way you want to solve it?
Good idea.
I'm creating pages that represent stores, and the format of every store
page is identical, so each store page transcludes the same store template
(which is used approximately like this: {{ store_template | storeID }}).
But stores belong to different categories depending on the kinds of goods
they sell. I have a parser function that, given the storeID, can fetch the
right good type from a database, so I want to use that function in the
store_template to categorize every store page dynamically.
