Keith/Lawrence --
I added an instruction to the category:ONLINE page. It reads:

To assign a page to the 'Online Resource' category, simply add the following text to your page:
[[category:ONLINE]]
And your page will automatically be included in this index.

I typed "Permaculture Activist" into the search box. The wiki engine reported that no such page was found and gave me the option of creating one. I did so, put your link to PA there, and added the text [[category:ONLINE]] to the page. This text string doesn't show up, but indicates to the wiki engine that your page is part of [[category:ONLINE]]. You can create any content you want at your Permaculture Activist page... or other people can add their 2 cents. http://www.permaculture.info/index.php/Permaculture_Activist

When creating or editing a page, all the 'top level categories' can be found at the bottom of the edit window. Clicking on these category strings causes them to be pasted into the page currently being edited.

All this and more could use better explanation and user scaffolding. This wiki, and perhaps all wikis still have a learning curve that interferes with spontenaity. Quick intro at: http://www.permaculture.info/index.php/Help:Contents

Lawrence,
That's not what I was trying to do at all.

I was trying to put "Permaculture Activist", hyperlinked in the list under the alphabetic listing "P" and not "http://www.permacultureactivist.net"; and not in the top of the page in a second category.

I tried for the first time to enter a link in a category at the wiki.....and failed to achieve the intended result. It appeared on the page but not where I wanted it to appear so I undid it. I still don't know how and the instructions didn't answer my questions. This suggests to me why it is so relatively unused by the permaculture community. 12 people, so far, on the entire planet have posted URLs in the category ONLINE. How many others have tried and failed and abandoned it, I wonder.

BTW, I used this format to achieve partial success:
[http://www.permacultureactivist.net/ Permaculture_Activist]

I gave it a try:

Entered:

[[Permaculture Activist]]

http://www.permacultureactivist.net


This, [[ ]], sets up a new page to be created: [[Permaculture Activist]]

Just type the URL and it automagickally gets hotlinked:
http://www.permacultureactivist.net

Do you have a login account? Good idea to set one up and configure your
preferences.
