- The list is currently formatted link this: Categories : Category1 | Category2 Firstly, I don't like the space in front of the ":", and secondly I don't really like the "|". Wouldn't something like this look more professional? Categories: Category1, Category2
Personally, I like the |'s better.
- Another thing I find a little limiting, but it doesn't bother me that much, is that you cannot link to a category (just like you cannot link to an article on another language wiki) in the middle of the text. All [[Category:something]] will be moved to the list of categories at the top of the page. Maybe it would be wiser to reserve [[cat:something]] for the list, and let users still put [[Category:something]] to link to the category page in the middle of text. This would be especially useful on Talk pages.
I would propose the [[:Category:something]] syntax here, because an equivalent piece of syntax already exists for images and such ([[:Image:something]] gives a normal link to an image page).
One thing I would like to remark, is that for interwiki use, if at all possible the word "Category" should be softcoded, so that it can be overruled in a language's language.php.
