Re: Categories.
They're great!
(But confusing, sometimes, esp. when you start w/ thinking too much about it...)
so, if you write an article, and add [[Category:Category name]] at the end, or even inside the text, it gets categorized automatically.
you get nice stuff like this: http://www.newmars.com/wiki/index.php?t … &rcid=1044 where you can click further down the tree (fairly empty tree, till testing stuff)
But what I don't get... when for instance I go here: http://www.newmars.com/wiki/index.php/Mars and at the bottom i see: "category: planets" ... why is that link red? :? it isn't empty....

Hmm... It seems the New Mars wiki could find some use as a pathfinder. Much easier to build than an encyclopedia, and the wiki format could be used to expand on information unavailable elsewhere.
BTW: Categories and articles can have duplicate names, and categories can also include reference links to articles.

It isn't red any more. I had one do that to me, too. I finally made it quit by re-saving the category discussion.
