Haven't tried and can't try right now, but what's that supposed
to do? If I have a page named "Server1/email", then {{PAGENAME}}
expands to "Server1/email", doesn't it?

Hmm, wouldn't {{SUBPAGENAME}} be the Magic word to use here?
Would that return "email" for "Server1/email"? If I don't misunderstand
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DEFAULTSORT#Page_names_and_related_info,
then that would be better, wouldn't it?

But still - does that "modify" how a page name is displayed on a
category page?

Thanks,
