Nice What is the appropriate talk page to discuss this asterisk technique Some category pages manually mention the main page above the list Should I convert such manual pages Category Electronics Category Mathematics etc to asterisk pages I see Category Embedded systems is trying to go both ways And I still don t understand what does it mean when several items are alphabetized under asterisk such as Category Calculators Categorization Category sorting discusses the technique Tip I ve found that in order for a category alphabetization change to take effect that first on the article page delete the category tag i e Category Example save the page Then re add the tag with the desired alphabetization characters i e Category Example Example and save the page again It s a bug I think Also sometimes it takes a few minutes for these changes to show up on the category page Whether Electronics and Mathematics articles should be changed I think it makes it easier to locate the main article about the topic Regarding Category Calculators often contributors want more than one article pushed to the top of a category alphabetization However in this example Reverse Polish Notation to me seems misplaced The link at the top of a category page is put in place by adding the tag catmore to the category page or by typing a paragraph like is done at Category Embedded systems Personally I like using both techniques
