 * 1) Great. So I understood the root of your question correctly.
 * No, the category should not mess up your parameters. If there doesn't seem to be any issue with your parameters, than forget. I even made that comment. It was purely speculative.
 * 1) Great. I just wanted to make sure you knew about it.
 * 2) Possibly. From my understanding, you want to have the subpage as a way to store information without a particular display format. By using properties, you can have that list maintained in the background. Primarily, it will allow you to:
 * 3) Take the data directly into the supercentenarian template rather than using a subpage.
 * 4) Store the data for wiki-wide use via the "set" parser function.
 * 5) Make the information compatible with the parser functions "ask" and "show".
 * 6) Make the information compatible with the special page "Ask". This is essentially the parser function but is more like a search page. You can generate the corresponding wiki code for the parser function using this page.

"ask" allows you to generate a list of pages that satisfy search criteria. You can give it categories, property values, or a combination of both as the search criteria. In addition to returning the page titles, you can also have it return the pages's corresponding properties.

"show" allows you to retrieve the value for a specific property of a specific page.

See these documentation pages:
 * properties
 * in-line queries
 * set parser function
