How to display the category list[edit]
I couldn't find way to show all the category article's title inside another article.nirmal (talk) 04:34, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- It is not possible to display just a list, but you can display a category tree. See Help:Category#Displaying category trees and page counts.

Template PlanetMath attribution is broken[edit]
And I don't know how to fix it. For example, Ingrid Daubechies#Notes has a PlanetMath template that tries to go to http://planetmath.org/ingriddaubechies but instead it goes this 404: http://planetmath.org/node/9067 I also tried changing the reference to use urlname= instead of id= :
{{PlanetMath attribution|urlname=ingriddaubechies|title=Ingrid Daubechies}}
This article incorporates material from Ingrid Daubechies on PlanetMath, which is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
but that also doesn't work because the link to goes to: http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/ingriddaubechies.html (extraneous encyclopedia is inserted)
The talk section for the the template Template_talk:PlanetMath_attribution two other people says that this template is broken.
Many thanks in advance.

- @Clemwang: This is the talk page for the page Help:Category. Your problem, as I understand it, is nothing to do with categories, but either with an external website, or the Wikipedia template which generates a link to that website, i.e.
{{PlanetMath attribution|id=9067|title=Ingrid Daubechies}}. If nobody at Template talk:PlanetMath attribution can help (I don't see any posts from you), have you tried WP:HD? --Redrose64 (talk) 15:16, 12 November 2014 (UTC)- Thanks. I reposted this to WP:HD.
After a category rename[edit]
I've moved Category:People from Salem to Category:People from Salem, Tamil Nadu. I'm not sure if it's better to delete the original category or to populate it with Category:People from Salem, Massachusetts, Category:People from Salem, Oregon, etc. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:03, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Clarityfiend: This is the sort of thing that WP:CFR exists for. Indeed, you should have announced it there before moving the category page, even for a clear-cut C2 speedy rename. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:02, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
