::Same as above if Lua script was installed we could use the existing mediawiki/wikipedia templates. [[User:Daleathan|Daleathan]] ([[User talk:Daleathan|talk]]) 23:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Daleathan,
Just saw your changes to a few pages
*https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window&diff=next&oldid=86246
* https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Visual_Guide_to_the_Gramps_Interface&diff=0&oldid=83194
These changes defeat the original goal: making it easily for NEW users to find the Gramps-specific terminology so that they know what to look for (or the searchable terms) in the wiki. These entries add "plain English" listings to the Categories.
The category listings are not "uniform" but the category listing of "Gramps 5.1 Wiki Manual - Main Window" is NOT a new-user friendly listing.
And eliminating the "man version" transclusion template from the redirect makes that redirect into an ongoing maintenance problem.
I hope you will agree to 'undo' these changes.
Thanks for reading

:Hi,
:
:* mediaiwik does not work quite how you believe in the category, but I've [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window&diff=next&oldid=86246 reversed] my change to show you; please look into the [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Gramps_terminology category] you will see the only thing it does is sort it to the letter V as the category only uses the first letter and this separates out of the letter G where the identical entry for gramps 5.0 user manual is, so the sentence "Visual Guide to the Gramps Interface" is not visible in the actual category which I believe was your intention? If you are happy with this explanation please reverse my reversal!

:
:* The redirection [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Visual_Guide_to_the_Gramps_Interface&diff=0&oldid=83194 change] has been left as you cannot use a template in the name of a redirect have a look at the difference between the current entry and what it looked like [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Visual_Guide_to_the_Gramps_Interface&diff=prev&oldid=83194 before] notice the current working entry has what looks like a little return symbol indicating the redirect is working and your entry does not because it is treating the redirect word as plain text!

:I'll attempt to remember to add a better explanation next time!

Yes, the hack for:
1) sorting the page to the 'V's, and
2) the REDIRECT page categories
each got halfway to the desired outcome.
In combination, they get us "close" until we find the RIGHT way to add aliases to the Category indices.
