[Mediawiki-l] Adding to category:people

[Christensen, Courtney]

You could make the Owner page, but make it a redirect to the company.  I'm not certain that categories work on redirect pages though.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Adding to category:people

I have a page that gives information on a company which I could add 
to a category called "business".  In addition, I would like to be 
able to have the owner's name show up under a category called 
"people", but I may or may not want to create a page for the owner of 
all companies.

Is there a way to format the {{category:people}} line so that it will 
display the owner's name when you go to the category page, but the 
link will actually go to the company page?

For example, if I had a page for a company owned by James Smith 
called Smith, Smith, and Jones and I try something like 
{{category:people|Smith, James}} the actual display on the people 
page would read "Smith, Smith, and Jones" instead of the desired 
"Smith, James"
