OK, thanks. The following seems to work.
In Template:C, put:
[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]][[Category:{{{1}}}]]<noinclude>
==Explanation==
The categories on our wikis are very special. There are thousands of
them, one for each bus stop, or police radio frequency. However, we
don't want users editing them. They should edit pages, not categories.
They should place the bus stop or police frequency onto the page for
that bus route, or police station, using this template. This template will
#Add the category to [[Special:Categories]]
#Make a link to that category
==Usage example==
<nowiki>
*{{c|Nurdsburg Junction}}
</nowiki>
==Hooks==
[[Special:Version#Hooks|Hooks]] are employed to avoid "redlinks",
without resorting to <nowiki>{{fullurl}}</nowiki>.
</noinclude>
And here are the hooks. Requires MediaWiki 1.14. In LocalSettings.php use:
function
JidanniBlueLinkCategoryPages($linker,$target,&$text,&$customAttribs,&$query,&$options,&$ret){
switch($target->mNamespace){case NS_CATEGORY:case
NS_CATEGORY_TALK:$options[0]='known';}return true;}
$wgHooks['LinkBegin'][]='JidanniBlueLinkCategoryPages';
function
JidanniDontInviteEdit(&$this,&$outputDone,&$pcache){$z=$this;if($z->getID()===0){
switch($z->mTitle->getNamespace()){case NS_CATEGORY:case
NS_CATEGORY_TALK:$outputDone=true;}}return true;}
$wgHooks['ArticleViewHeader'][]='JidanniDontInviteEdit';#

$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_CATEGORY]=$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_CATEGORY_TALK]=array('editinterface');
$wgSpecialVersionShowHooks=true;
