Forum:Can you make a category page show both subcategories AND pages in that category?

This basically sums up my question. On Category pages that have no subcategories, I see lists of the pages. But for categories that have subcategories, the Category pages only list the subcategories, not the pages in those subcategories. I'd like the Category pages to do both. Is this possible?

 * Just add the mother category to the pages in the sub-category. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  09:36, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Well, this causes a lot of duplication, and I was hoping to achieve the same results simply by having the pages appear on both the category and the subcategory pages. For instance, if I mark a book as High fantasy, I don't want to have to also mark it as Fantasy and as Speculative Fiction, too... but I'd like it to show up on all three of those pages, since they're all linked together as category --> sub-category --> sub-sub-category. There's no way to do this? Inpariswithyou 09:48, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * See if Extension:CategoryTree will meet your needs. Its already enabled on all wikis. --Uberfuzzy 10:07, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you add categories with templates, adding multiple categories all at once is not so hard.
 * For example you could have a template called Template:Multicat with code like this:
 * This would add a page that has the template  on it to 3 categories at once. If you made the template set categories via parameters it could even be more flexible. --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:04 PM PST 26 Jun 2010
