[Mediawiki-l] Custom Namespace Categories

[Dr JFBurté]

Hi John,
keep in, mind you can also insert a Category link by editing each category 
page
and so on, to obtain the "tree" you need to dysplay around all the functions 
that populate your site
type for example [[Category:UpBranch]] and then go to 
http://www.allbasic.info/wiki/index.php/Category:UpBranch
and so on whith each Category page you need to include in your tree
@+ de jfb "0.02$"
