Forum:Categories Problem

Hey everyone. I have a problem with categories. On my wiki cardguide wikia I have a lists of card types and rarities on every expansion set page. I want to link them to a category, for example on Day 0 Tactical Pack Agendas to the category Agenda (24 TCG) and so on.

By character it's doing good, but the other categories are not. And if I go to the source mode, their made the same way.


 * 11 Agendas
 * 46 Characters (23 CTU, 23 Insurgent)

So what's the problem, with the non-character categories ? vuurvosje 12:41, August 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify, is the "problem" you are experiencing that the category links show red?
 * If so, this is because you have not created those category pages yet. Placing a page in a category does not automatically create that category. The category will still show as a broken link until you actually go to the category page (for example, Category:Agenda (24 TCG)) and click the "Create" button, and then click to "publish".

 * Thank you Gardimuer! This helps me alot! But what exactly do you mean with "And for the love..." ? vuurvosje 19:52, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * It was an inside joke/expression of the black pessimism of my soul. Regardless, I suggest you read a bit more about how categories work: MW:Help:Categories. Gardimuer { ʈalk } 20:08, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting this, Gardimuer. You've identified a new bug -- categories are appearing as blue in the category area but red in the article area. Intended functionality was that a link should be blue in either situation. This bug is understandably confusing (sorry, vuurvosje!), and I've filed a ticket to get it back to the intended functionality (while still allowing for personal customization through CSS). Thanks again for letting us know, and sorry about the black pessimism of your soul. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:46, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
