Changes

Addendum: The [[Bold small caps]] page showed up on the list when I made a minor edit to it and saved my edits. Apparently the system simply didn't process the changes through until the pages itself was edited, or something like that. (My guess is that adding a category to a template doesn't actually add the linkbacks for the pages containing that template to the category listing, and one has to edit the pages to invoke the code that adds the linkbacks. This is arguably a Wiki bug.) --[[User:Brooks|Brooks]] 01:51, 15 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Thus, I concluded that the list on the [[:Category:How to]] page is statically generated. This implies that, at some point, a bit of Wiki internal code must be called to put things on the list. I hypothesized that the code to add page X to the list is called when page X is edited, but is NOT called when a template on page X is edited. Corrolary to this hypothesis is that the only reason that [[Bold small caps]] was not appearing on the list was that it had not yet been edited any after the "category" bit was added to the "How to" template, and thus that bit of internal code to add it to the list had not been called. I tested this hypothesis by making a very minor and unrelated edit to the [[Bold small caps]] page, and discovered that this did indeed cause it to be added to the list on [[:Category:How to]].
