Keith,

The <nowiki> string tells the computer to not 'react' when it reads the 
subsequent text.  Otherwise the wiki-engine would read 
[[category:ONLINE]], not print the text, and assign the whole page to 
the category:ONLINE.  Adding <nowiki> is what allowed me to have the 
text string "[[category:ONLINE]]" show up on the page as text rather 
than causing the wiki-engine to run its routine.

Stuff that helps people work on otherwise inaccessible things.. sorry 
for obtuse metaphor

The list cannot be affected by editing the page, the list is 
automatically generated for pages with the name "category:XXX".  When 
you tag a page (any page.. even another category) by including the text 
"[[category:ONLINE]]" then the tagged page will show up automatically on 
the list on page 'category:ONLINE'.

That's why we love computers so... they are so responsive to our needs.
Hope this helps.
