Any number of {{ns:category}} tags may be added to the page and the page will be listed in all of them. {{ns:category}} tags, along with [[Manual:Interwiki#Interwiki_links_to_other_languages|interwiki language links]] placed in the sidebar, are usually added at the very bottom of the page for the convenience of other editors. | Any number of {{ns:category}} tags may be added to the page and the page will be listed in all of them. {{ns:category}} tags, along with [[Manual:Interwiki#Interwiki_links_to_other_languages|interwiki language links]] placed in the sidebar, are usually added at the very bottom of the page for the convenience of other editors. | ||

+ | If $wgUseCategoryBrowser is set to true, under the first list each category is listed again, [[wikipedia:breadcrumb (navigation)|breadcrumb]]-style, with all its parent categories, sorted alphabetically. (At least in MediaWiki 1.18.2) if a category is a subcategory of more than one parent, both hierarchies will be listed, but the tagged category will be stripped off all but one of these. This creates the potential for what appear to be duplicate entries if a category with multiple parents ''and'' one of its parents are both tagged on a page. For example suppose Maryanne is a subcategory of both Mary and Anne. If a page tags categories Maryanne and Anne then the Category breadcrumbs will show | ||
+ | Anne | ||
+ | Anne | ||
+ | Mary -> Maryanne | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Anne" appears to be duplicated, but what is meant is | ||
+ | Anne | ||
+ | Anne -> Maryanne | ||
+ | Mary -> Maryanne | ||

A ''sort key'' specifies under which letter heading, and where in the category list, the page will appear. You can add a sort key by placing it inside the tag after a pipe character. For example, the tag below will add the page under heading "S". | A ''sort key'' specifies under which letter heading, and where in the category list, the page will appear.

− | + | Sort keys are case-sensitive, and spaces and other characters are also valid. The order of the sections within a category follows the Unicode sort order. The sort key does not change the page title displayed in the category. | |
