[pmwiki-users] Linking to Categories

In my case, I have a Software.Template that is a template for all 
pages in the Software group (actually a subgroup).  I don't really 
want the Software.Template page to show up as part of the category, 
though it of course says [[!Software]] at the bottom.

I was a little surprised that it was in the category, because, 
intuitively, nothing "links" to that page.  Of course that's not how 
it works.

It wouldn't be a problem if I could edit the Category.Software page, 
and save it without that line.  Or filter the page somehow, like 
having a template for it that included filters.

	Blah blah, Software category, blah blah,
		* some special links
		* that are very important
	and the rest of the category:
		(:pagelist fmt=category exclude=Category/SoftCatExcl:)

or something like that.
