I wish categories worked in FCK Editor, but they have bad bugs.
Create an article with this category tag, using the standard wiki editor.
[[Category:Widgets | {{PAGENAME}}]]
Save it, then re-edit with FCK Editor. You'll see a weird {{PAGENAME}} word in
the editor, as it mistakes your category tag for an internal link with alt
text. Now, think like an end-user who sees something weird in the article.
Delete {{PAGENAME}} in the editor. Save the article, and FCK Editor saves your
category tag like this:
[[Category:Widgets | Widgets]]
which is wrong. Now edit the article again in FCK Editor. You (again an
end-user) now see an unwanted "Widgets" word in the article. Delete it and
save. Now the article wikitext contains:
[[Category:Widgets|<br>]]
which is even more wrong. Call your support desk for help. They tell you to
delete the category tag and re-add it. So you add it using the (C) menu button
and get:
[[Category:Widgets]]
which is syntactically correct, but you've lost the sort key {{PAGENAME}}....
Also, FCK Editor inserts categories with underscores instead of spaces in their
names, like [[Category:Foo_Bar]]. Another small bug.
See, this stuff is tricky. :-)
