      This is because the contents of the Special pages are cached. Since there were issues after your import where the categories appeared missing, it was cached this way. So this is actually working as designed.

      The cache should update over time, as users visit the pages, or new edits are made. You can force an update sooner (but still not immediately, we found that immediate cache rebuilds crashed people's servers), by going to AdminCP > VaultWiki > Wiki Maintenance Tools > Clean Article Post Cache.

      The issue is caused by the difference between NuWiki and Vaultwiki in handling categories. Many of my articles have this structure:
      Category: [wiki]category_title_1[/wiki], [wiki]category_title_2[/wiki]

      So these link now link to /showwiki.php?title=category_title

      IMO there should be a redirect from /showwiki.php?title=category_title to /showwiki.php?title=Category:category_title

      You can create these redirects yourself.
      Code:
      [redirect]Category:Category_Title[/redirect]
      // I would stay away from
      [redirect][category]Category_Title[/category][/redirect]
      // which might place the redirect into the category
      NuWiki actually didn't have any real category support. These were basically links that you added yourself.

      Keep in mind this difference:
      Code:
      1 [wiki]Category_Title[/wiki] // points to ?title=Category_Title
      2 [category]Category_Title[/category] // points to ?title=Category:Category_Title
      There is no way for VaultWiki to know that you intended 1 to resolve to 2 since there was no way of defining categories as anything but regular wiki-articles pre-VaultWiki, and since the two end up doing different things in VaultWiki itself.

      If you continue using WIKI over CATEGORY tags, keep in mind that only CATEGORY tags will add the article to the Category. Even with the redirect established, this only provides a 301 location scenario -- the functionality is provided by the tags, not by the links themselves. I hope this makes sense.

      Yes, that makes a lot of sense. We will go trough all articles and manually replace all instances of Article: [wiki]Cat_name[/wiki]

      Thanks!

      Though that still leaves the issue of when users add [wiki]category_name[/wiki]
      When that happens it links to an inexistent article page and users might create it. This would be unwanted. It would be resolved by automatically redirecting such instances to the category.
