Category is great function to summarize infomations from other pages, but sometime users needs more that just title in summary. Just for example : - Automated comparison between contents of a category. - Highlight some information in title - ... This extension can be easy build by adding a other parameter to Category tag like sort function. With a such optional second parameter for title replacement in category, editor can build custom summary which enhances greatly category function. With this function, a custom summary can be easily realized by a specific model integrated into pages of the category : [[Category:customsummary | {{{name}}} | {{customitem {{{name}}} | {{{info}}} }} thanks, bip
A simpler way to implement this would be a single optional caption parameter after the the sort key. Thus, [[Category:People|Smith, John|John Smith - American author]] would display "John Smith - American author" in the category listing, but it would sort using Smith, John. If there's no caption parameter: [[Category:People|Nye, Bill]] MediaWiki should use the article name (Bill Nye).
