Appendix subcat
Noticed this subcat of the book cat, created by Adrignola in 2009 but not populated. Have tried to populate it, and found out the likely reason it wasn't populated. There  parameter to BookCat is too clumsy for the purpose; not only does BookCat categorize an appendix page, but so (typically) do Auto navigation and Navigate. It's possible to pass the parameter into Auto navigation, which internally uses BookCat, but not into Navigate which internally uses BOOKCATEGORY. So atm the subcat is populated but all those pages also appear directly in the book cat. Some notes for possible future upgrades of the infrastructure: --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:23, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The reason navigate doesn't use BookCat is that it supports specifying the book name, which BookCat does not. I've also wondered whether BookCat should take an unnamed parameter treated similarly to other related templates such as BOOKCATEGORY.
 * It would make sense to use some centralized control to regulate deep filing, instead of trying to pass it in to every call to BookCat.
