Actually I do mind that you move it, because it is what I mean. ;-) The idea is that I want the [[MediaWiki.org|MediaWiki wiki]] to be at the top of [[:Category: MediaWiki]], so that all the other MediaWiki sites are below it. does that make sense?

On Namespace of course we want wiki's as the main types of articles, but if there's another article (like this one for example) that's in the main namespace, so long as it doesn't collide with a wiki, it think it's fine because it won't junk up the categories if we don't categorize it to anything.
