: I'll try it:
<nowiki>[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]][[Category:{{{1}}}|{{{3|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}]]</nowiki>
lets explode it a little:
<nowiki>[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]]</nowiki> ''(the first part is visible within the floating text)''
<nowiki>[[Category:{{{1}}}|{{{3|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}]]</nowiki> ''(the second part works for categorization)''
the '''first part''' displays an optional alternative text with the second parameter (the pipe means: take parameter #2, if not present, default to parameter #1)
the '''second part''' categorizes the page to the category named by parameter #1, if an alternative ordering in the auto index of the category page is needed, you can define the sorting key with parameter #3, if not the full page name will be used (this is the normal cat order behavior). Yes, I hate the MediWiki template syntax too, although I'm am a programmer because it's like typing machine code. --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:54, 29 October 2006 (EST)
