Forum:SH:Subcategories and Subcat template

Maybe somebody can explain this to me... is Template:Subcat really needed anymore? "This template should be used instead of [[Category:]] declarations inside category pages. This ensures that subcategories are listed before all other pages, so that nobody has to slog through three or four pages before they know what all the subcategories are."

- Template:Subcat Usage

It seems that Wikia/MediaWiki is already doing this for us, even dividing the subcategories up by first character. But some categories that use the Subcat template are disrupting the sorting. For example Category:In-universe articles lists subcategory Technology before anything else because Technology uses the Subcat template. Unless somebody can explain why we use the template instead of the default sorting, I plan on TC'ing the template. - Esjs (Talk) 22:31, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
