Many thanks for this (lonely) feedback.

I see your point about hierarchies and have therefore started to prepare
some flat-namespace pages last night:

https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Chistera_Pi
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:3D_Magnetic_Sensor_2Go
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Current_Sensor_2Go

More TBD.

For now I linked them manually so they can be found:
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3#Expansion_boards

That's what my question above was about: I do understand we would get
some Category:Foo page listing the pages (as for ARM devices) but I
wondered whether we could also embed such a list into RPi3 etc. pages
like we embed the nice JeOS installation template? Editing some category
page just gives me the header text and its category, and Help:Category
doesn't say anything either about whether or how that may be possible.
So ... just textually link to [[:Category:Foo]]?

Any naming suggestions for categories?

"Category:Raspberry Pi Hat"? (not so unique)
Or "Category:Raspberry Pi B+ connector"? (vs. B, confusing for RPi2/3?)
Or rather "Category:Raspberry Pi 40-pin connector"? (vs. 26-pin)
"Category:MikroBus connector"? (vs. Click board; e.g., ClearFog)
"Category:Euler connector"? (maybe not because it's just Pine64?)
"Category:PMod connector"? (not yet needed)

"Category:BeagleBone Cape"?
"Category:Arduino Shield"? (via ArPi600)

Regards,
Andreas
