Lil' problem with user subpages
 
Sorry, I just hadn't written any guides to categorization yet. There are two ways to fix this.
Line 1: Line 1:
A note on the User Subpages... posting stories under User:username/storyname categorizes the story title under "U" instead of the first letter of the story, and the "User:username" shows up on the Category:Story page.  Kinda ugly. :)  Did I do something wrong? (Other than that, everything looks great!) Thanks. -[[User:Virmir|Virmir]] 00:43, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

:You didn't do anything wrong, I just hadn't got around to creating a page describing some of the little gotchas of MediaWiki's categorization scheme yet. :) I've just banged one together as a result, you can find it at [[Help:Categorization]]. Basically, if you want to change how your page is sorted in the category listing you can provide an alternate sort key either for that one specific category (<nowiki>[[Category:Story|Slips of Paper]]</nowiki>) or as a new default for all categories on that page (<nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:Slips of Paper}}</nowiki>).

A note on the User Subpages... posting stories under User:username/storyname categorizes the story title under "U" instead of the first letter of the story, and the "User:username" shows up on the Category:Story page. Kinda ugly. :) Did I do something wrong? (Other than that, everything looks great!) Thanks. -Virmir 00:43, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

You didn't do anything wrong, I just hadn't got around to creating a page describing some of the little gotchas of MediaWiki's categorization scheme yet. :) I've just banged one together as a result, you can find it at Help:Categorization. Basically, if you want to change how your page is sorted in the category listing you can provide an alternate sort key either for that one specific category ([[Category:Story|Slips of Paper]]) or as a new default for all categories on that page ({{DEFAULTSORT:Slips of Paper}}).
