[Moin-user] how can I use Categories for quality assurance?

You really should upgrade. :) 1.5.4 is nice.

Sure.

Category links are usually rendered as standard links, so they neither 
have special styling (just like other links), nor auto-generated content.

A thing that maybe could be of general use is some configurable page 
name pattern matching and deriving a CSS class attribute depending on 
what pattern matched the target page name.

By defining CSS for that class, you could make your boxes, style and 
alignment.
I guess you could even define some content using :after or :before (of 
course that won't work with IE6).

To do that, one would have to hack the wiki parser. Or subclass it and 
add additional functionality in the derived class. You could make a 
parser plugin from that and just give it another name and set default 
wiki format to that parser.

If you develop code for such a feature and it is general enough to be of 
general use, please put a copy of your patch on the moinmoin wiki. Of 
course we prefer patches for rather current versions.

No.
