When a template is used for category insertion, and used with a variable for the category sort key, (such as {{templatename|sortkey}}, with template text being [[Category:name|sortkey]]) - the template messes up the sort key of the category, listing pages below "{" instead of the beginning letters. This occurs both with using ordinary text as sortkey, as well as variables such as {{PAGENAME}}.
Confirmed in 1.7.1 Template:Test: [[Category:Wiki tools|{{{sortkey}}}]] In article: {{Test:Foo}}
Rather: {{Test|Foo}} of course.
Confirmed on test-wiki: http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:6821_test. Note that category display on the page itself is also buggy, see [[Test:6821]] (if that works).
This seems to be working fine, now. See http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:6821_test. Probably has been fixed by someone in the meantime.
Looks like you're right! Great ! :-)
