[Mediawiki-l] Categories defaulting to action=edit

HI.  I'm running Suse Server 9 with:

MediaWiki  1.4.7 
PHP  4.3.4 (apache2handler) 
MySQL 4.0.18

When an article includes a [[Category:Cat Name]], the Cat Name category is created, but the link shows in red.  When one clicks on the category it goes to http://host.domain.org/index.php?title=Category:Cat_Name&action=edit withthe Editing Category window open.

The category tab is available, and if clicked on, the articles in the category do show up alphabetically.

Is there any way to make the default so that the contents of the category show up and not the edit screen?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.
