Ah yes, I discovered this page via a link from a category page. It didnt
take long to realise that some categories have this link and some dont.
Incidentaly I suspect the reason I (and probably many others) don't
notice this link to the Browse by category page is because it's position
and style are such that the eye easily passes over it rather than
lingers on it (the headlines directly below it are noticabley larger in
size). I think it could be positioned and styled more suitably. Also I
don't neccessarily think that "Browse Articles by Category" is the the
best descriptive text to use for the link. I think it the word 'Article'
is more associated with news or opinion pieces than documentation.
Perhaps something like "Browse Documentation by Category" might be better?

This also leads me on to the actual style of the wiki article pages.
It's hard to follow the flow & logic of some articles because both the
section and subsection headers are the same font size but wrongly the
subsection headers are in bold i.e. =Header= is the same font size as
the bold ==Sub Header==. I think the style sheet could use a few minor
tweaks to improve readability of the pages...

Agreeed, there are limitations to the MediaWiki category approach but
every page should at least belong to a category or the only way it will
be found is via the often ignore search function. The structure will
come from these efforts :)
