[pmwiki-users] Getting pages created by other software to appear in category lists

[Peter Payzant]

Well, renaming .pageindex to something else and then requesting the 
category list page did fix the problem - thanks! - but it seems rather 
brute force. Is there no way to encourage the wiki software to update 
the .pageindex file gracefully?

... and looking at the old and new versions of that file, by the way; 
the old one is ten times the size of the new one. Presumably there is an 
accepted practice for garbage collection on this file - maybe just 
deleting it from time to time!
