This is BR on a library computer (soon to be at home, and I'll verify it's me then), recommending that the links on the main language pages should point to the languages example. Example: On the 4D page, there are links to all the tasks that have been completed in 4D. The top one is "Change string case". It links to Change string case. If this passes, it would instead link to "Change string case#4D" --66.27.48.50 22:48, 23 January 2010 (UTC) BR 05:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC) (I'm at home)

With the transclusion functionality added to the MCS extension, it becomes possible to create category listings that aren't in the Category namespace. I wouldn't mind seeing that, to be honest; The Category namespace has a lot of quirky restrictions that have made some things difficult.
