| I like the idea of putting the category at the top as well as the bottom. Now to investigate is it template driven or wiki driven..[[User:Trex|Trex]] ([[User talk:Trex|talk]]) 17:02, 2 February 2013 (MST) | | I like the idea of putting the category at the top as well as the bottom.

− | It looks like it is template based. Wherever you put the <noinclude> family tag, it always ends up at the bottom. Cactus has been wiki Yoda for a long time, we could ask him to save ourselves the trouble of re-inventing the wheel? If we would like to do ask Cactus, please let me know for Cactus has indicated he is _very_ busy.

| + | Trouble is if you start manually positioning categories they'll end up in different places on different pages and it becomes a mess. I feel what is needed is a more consistent category structure, the category pages themselves organise any sub-categories and the pages quite well. |
| + | |
| + | You can add text to the Category: page to explain that categories use/purpose or even add an index of the top level categories via a template. For example see the [http://www.ips.org.uk/faq/index.php?title=Category:Equipment IPS - Equipment] category. All the source code of that page has in it is <nowiki>{{Category List}}</nowiki>. That is a manually created template but as it doesn't change very often, if at all, that isn't a serious maintenace problem.
