			Leaving this for posterity. After running up against a hardcoded limit to how articles are displayed in categories the decision was made to remove any file path.

			The reasoning for this is that it made the [[Category:Player-created Lore]] look really terrible because even though you can spoof the letter it puts the article under the article name remains. Wikipedia does not think in paths so User:Name/PlayerLore/story is really just that, not a file in the namespace that contains story.
