Can I ask what that does? I've seen it several times.

Normal category sorting uses the entire page name, including the namespace, i.e. all "User:" pages are sorted into the U's, "Essay:" pages into the E's, etc. {{DEFAULTSORT:}} tells MediaWiki to use a different title to use in sorting, and {{PAGENAME}} generates the page name sans namespace (changing "Essay:Voting" into "Voting," for example).

Ohhh - I wondered how it did that. I figured I'd have 400 pages of "e" for essay. thanks!
