Hello,
I just entered the cause of death and Category: Lung cancer deaths to the Article on Illinois Representative Charles Arthur Hayes. His name now appears in that Category, but not in the Category: Cancer deaths. Shouldn't he appear in this Category also since cancer is what he died from? It seems the only way to accomplish this is to include both Categories in his Article. However, when I have done this in the past, in other similar situations, I have gotten a whole lot of grief. What gives?
Frustrated.

Marc,
I can tell you that there is no mechanism in the software to implicitly include articles in categories, such as you seem to want. If you want an article in a category, you must specifically place the category tag on that article.
Note, however, that many templates do include the necessary tag to place an article that uses that template into one or more category.
On the other hand, if you mean "should" as a desired behavior, that's another discussion altogether.
