Summary: People articles with single category sort incorrectly on
category lists
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Categories
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(I searched and couldn't find this)
It appears that when an article about a person has a single actual category tag
(ie. ([Category:foobar]]), on the category page itself that lists all the
people, the article will sort by first name on the list, instead of last name
like those articles with multiple categories.
For example, I'm currently adding articles on people to [[Category:TED
Speakers]]. But for articles that didn't previously already have an category,
such as:
* Kristen Ashburn
* David Bolinsky
These sorted by their first name on the TED Speakers page. I was able to work
around this by adding a pipe and their surname to the end of the category, but
it's still annoying.
NOTE: I say "ACTUAL category" above, because while David Bolinsky has only the
single category I added, he has other stub tags that append categories to his
article. But it would still sort incorrectly (without the workaround).
