Description: On PmWiki.org, I noticed that Category.Category is not showing many category entries. For example, "Blog", "Bundles", etc. which are used in the Cookbook area. In fact, it seems to be working backwards and only showing the items that are linking to pages, rather than items listed as in a category.

"Search" is the category used on Cookbook/SearchExtensions, but it shows up under GroupFooter category -- because it has a link to Category.GroupFooter on the page, not because it's in the GroupFooter category.

This means the site's nifty "indexing" feature is broken.

Adding to this PITS entry, rather than create a new one, since I think these are related

There is a clear distinction between

• a list of pages which refer to a category group (ie use [[Category/example]] somewhere in the page)
• a list of pages which are categorised (using the [[!example]] markup in the page)

When referring to "categories" it would be useful to be able to distinguish between [[!Example]] (which is declarative) and [[Category/Example]] (which is referential).

Consequently one could then create a pagelist of all declared (ie defined or categorised) pages, or a pagelist of all pages on which a Category is referenced (ie the Category/Question page), as opposed to all pages on which a category is referenced

Unfortunately (:pagelist link=Category.Example:) picks up both types of category references.

This change request is to provide a means of selecting between these two
