Forum:Sub-subcategories

How can I get category trees to go farther than 2 levels?

If you don't know what I'm asking exactly, this is what is happening...
 * [–]Category
 * Subcategory

...instead of this...
 * [–]Category
 * [–]Subcategory
 * Sub-subcategory

 * Please specify the wiki where you see this problem. Special:CategoryTree should work fine unless the various categories don't have subcategories even though you think they should. To make a subcategory you need to add the parent category wikicode to the subcategory page. --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:57 PM PST 21 Apr 2010


 * The sub -subcategory needs to be categorized under the subcategory, hope that helps? Lcawte1.png – Talk - My Wikia's list - New Wiki Watchlist 08:09, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * He mean the "CategoryTree" extension inside categories. It only shows the first descendants when you click "[+]", but the descendants don't show another "[+]" even if they actually have subcategories. For example, see Category:Browse. If you click "[+]" on Help it shows subcategories, some of them with a number next to it. He expect for that subcategories to have a "[+]" to navigate through them. Maybe the limitation is because several big categories could make difficult the navigation through them because they load in a column of a 3-column table.
 * You can't change that behavior. Maybe Wikia could change one parameter in the config settings to allow that. Maybe it would be better to change the message shown in the category to put a link to Special:CategoryTree/ --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 08:30, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah ok, I've only noticed that happening recently, I think it worked fine like a month ago? --Lcawte1.png – Talk - My Wikia's list - New Wiki Watchlist 09:57, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Server performance reasons, methinks.--AB 12:16, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has this feature, so you'd think Wikia would also. Oh well. Thanks for responding everyone :) Macgyver89 22:29, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
