::::I was kind of afraid that the wiki automatically set up the number of links in the page (but I was hoping otherwise). I don't know how you would take care of it other than making multiple <nowiki>[[Category:Settings]]</nowiki> pages like <nowiki>[[Category: Settings (1)]]</nowiki> or something similar, and adding only a certain number of pages to each one. On the other hand, they could be set up as subcategories on the <nowiki>[[Category: Settings]]</nowiki> page and make navigating a little easier if they were set like <nowiki>[[Category: Settings (xxx to xxx)]]</nowiki>. Although I would then suggest moving the current subcategories to articles at that point just to seperate them from the list of settings subcategories. Any way its done is probably going to end up being a nightmare until all of the settings pages are set up (which is something I am planning on continuing this weekend) and it is formatted. | ::::I was kind of afraid that the wiki automatically set up the number of links in the page (but I was hoping otherwise).

:::::Manual sub-categories are an idea, but you still have to go through every GMST and update them... that's a problem. May as well just use the list we already have and avoid using Categories altogether - has the added bonus of allowing people to Search for the Settings page (which they currently can't because the Search ignores Categories). | |||
:::::Also, I've figured out code that allows us to "fake" the category box. Put this code at the bottom of a page, and it will look like the Category list, but without generating the links on that category's page. May be useful for something: | |||
<pre><div id="catlinks"><p class='catlinks'>[[Special:Categories|Category]]: (link)</p></div></pre> | |||
:::::Put the link to the appropriate category in place of the (link) in the code, and it'll work. | |||
:::::Example: | |||
<div id="catlinks"><p class='catlinks'>[[Special:Categories|Category]]: [[:Category:Settings|Settings]]</p></div> | |||
:::::Looks fine to me. | |||
