[Mediawiki-l] Tweaking what shows up in categories

[Jim Hu]

On our wiki we have clusters of pages with subtopics related to  
specific genes, and an "On one page" that transcludes each of the  
subtopic pages.  This is based on the idea that some users prefer  
clicking to get around, while others prefer scrolling.

What I'm struggling with is how to handle the Categories in these.   
The subpages have categories, and in general I was thinking of  
wrapping these in <noinclude> to keep the On one page from  
duplicating the entry on each affected Category page.  But I'd like  
for the Category links to show up at the bottom of On on page.

  I could hack the Category page (esp. since I'm already using my  
hacked Category page extension) to exclude them from the sql query  
that builds the categories.  Anyone have any alternative ideas?
