Just copying this here from the help page in case my explanation above was confusing, as there are a few new people working on the wiki now:

Categories

Category pages contain browse lists and are an aid to navigating the wiki. You do not add a product to a category list by editing the category page, you do it by editing the product page and adding the appropriate category tag.

The {{CL|Sandy Petersen}} template both tags the page it appears in as belonging to the Sandy Petersen category and creates a link to the Sandy Petersen category page. The category page will automatically have a list of all the products with the {{CL|Sandy Petersen}} template, presumably the products for which Sandy Petersen is the author.

Each person (author or artist), company, game, and year has a category page. The category pages themselves are categorized. For example, on the category page for Sandy Petersen, you will see [[Category:People|Petersen, Sandy]] in the markup, which identifies Sandy Petersen as a person and causes him to be listed in the Category:People page. The text after the pipe puts the link to Sandy Petersen under P instead of under S.

...

When listing a person in an item description, one should always use {{CL|Name, Surname}}, so that the item appears on the Category page for that person.

Trouble of grogs is in Dungeon #4 and Stolen Power is #5

Sorry boss; that was your newbie editor.  Please don't fire me.  

I hate to keep rehashing the same things but just want to try once more with the {{CL| vs. {{L| conundrum.  It appears that a person (author, editor, artist, whatever) should always be {{CL|.  With respect to periodicals, the publication year and the company (TSR, WotC, Paizo) appear to also be using {{CL|.

As it relates to Dungeon magazine specifically, one of the few things using {{L| would seem to be any world specific settings.  From my original example {{L|Ravenloft}}.  Granted, we have to draw lines, but if you pull up the Ravenloft Category page, would it not be of value to have Dungeon adventures relating to the setting display?

The only other thing that appears to have just the {{L| appears to be the edition.  For example |{{L|Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition|D&D 3E}}.  Would it make sense to have every link be a Category link as far as the periodicals go?  Or do you want to specifically exclude setting information and edition information from Category pages as they relate to periodicals?

It would be way cool, but should appear AFTER the listing of all the stuff released as setting-specific material. (At the bottom, or as a link to click on.)

Hi everyone,

I am going to be out of internet contact for five days from Thursday 9 July until Tuesday 14 July. Any urgent technical questions or editor status requests , please forward to grubbiv during this period.

I have recently, worked on the AD&D 2nd edition page. I have been thinking about ways to meld it with the Acaeum main site, so that we are able to quickly link visitors to the relevant product page for all relevant 1st and 2nd edition items:

http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Category:Ad ... nd_Edition

Obviously there are a lot of products yet to put on - you can navigate through the galleries and see what is missing. Feel free to add items. Comments on the navigability and format of the page are most welcome.

 No just to a nearby cabin. I have to get away from the internet as it is my greatest distraction. Mind you just about everywhere is Outback in Australia:

Back again - and its allllllllmost done!

Yeah go for it. Start with the Polyhedrons as the template can easily be copied and then I'll help you set up for Adventurer and GM.

Thanks Xaxaxe! And problem fixed - Space Gamer # 3 has been assimilated!
