Category Template creation (from DMC wiki)
I'm trying to create a template here to help with categories at the wiki where I edit. I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to make the "categorize as" bit optional - i.e., I have an article named "Quicksilver Style", but want it to show up in the boss category as "Geryon".

When I tried last to implement this function, it made the "categorize as" bit mandatory, and all articles using the template had screwy code show up unless I added the piped title.

Ideally, I would like the template to work so that

would show the "Bosses", "Devil May Cry 3 Bosses", "Characters", and "Devils" categories, and file them under the article's name, while

Would show the same categories, but in those categories file it under "Geryon the Timesteed".

If this question is innapropriate for the help desk, could you direct me to the correct place to ask it? Thanks. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 02:46, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * you cannot change the name of the page in the category, it will always be the fullpagename. What you can change is the sortkey, either on a direct per category basis by  making it show up under B for , but only in C:Foo, or by placing   which will make the page get sorted under B for Bar in EVERY category that the page gets added to, even ones already added on the page (and yes, ones inside templates count).
 * It would be possible to recode enemy to take a variable to use as a sortkey, but it would very overly complicate the template and make it that much harder to read


 * take a look at Geryon the Timesteed and Quicksilver Style, this would be the ideal way to do it. It keeps only 1 copy of the data/info, but lets "Geryon the Timesteed" be in C:Bosses (since IT is the boss, not the style), and "Quicksilver Style" just be in C:Styles. If someone comes into the boss category, they arent gonna know that "Quicksilver Style" has the info for "Geryon the Timesteed"

In that case, why not just make the Geryon page a redirect to the Quicksilver page, with the Boss categories on the Geryon page?KrytenKoro 10:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried it as a redirect, and it seems to work. Would doing it that way be okay with you?KrytenKoro 10:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * odd, i tried that, (putting the enemy template on the redirect page), and it didnt work, yeah, thats the same effect more or less (actually, you loose 1 page toward your pagecount), but the same effect. --Uberfuzzy 10:26, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, how come we never really see you over at the DMC wiki anymore? Are you busy, not into DMC right now, or did I annoy you somehow (apparently, I've pissed Nelo Angelo off)?KrytenKoro 10:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
