Thanks Rappy! It worked … and it didn’t work.

It converted the categories as you suggested and populated the menu. Unfortunately, at least two of the category names are too long. But to change them means, first, changing the names of the categories, then changing the categories name in every single page that populates those categories. I guess it could be done with AWB, but ’crats at that wiki cannot assign the bot bit and I’ll end up flooding the RC.

I’m just surprised more wikis have not reported this. Perhaps enough of them have not activated the new wiki nav. Would it be a simpler job for the Wikia techies to switch the programming from fixed width to min-width, which you suggest would solve the problem?

Thanks!
