Even though this article is categorized "About Codex", it doesn't appear 
on the "About Codex" category page. I had assumed that this was 
something that happened automatically, but it looks like it doesn't. Do 
we have to add them manually? Or is there a bot that does it? Or have i 
missed something?

I'll make a start on changing "Wordpress Development" to "WordPress 
Development" in the 169 pages where it's wrong.

Thinking about that a bit more... Maybe it would be less work to write a 
bot to do that. The disadvantage would be that i wouldn't get to explore 
all those 169 pages, but it would probably be a lot less work in the 
long run.

By "foreign", i assume you mean "not English" (the internet's a big 
place and "foreign" doesn't mean "not English" in most of it!). If 
English language pages aren't categorized, how do you list just pages 
that are in English?
