There is a useful MediaWiki parser function that I've been using on some of the more recent comics. Essentially this:

{{DEFAULTSORT:0167}}
[[Category:Comic Scripts 101-200]]
[[Category:Black Mage Evilwizardington Appearances]]
[[Category:Fighter McWarrior Appearances]]
[[Category:Red Mage Statscowski Appearances]]
[[Category:Thief Appearances]]
[[Category:White Mage Appearances]]
[[Category:Black Belt Appearances]]

does the same thing as this:

[[Category:Comic Scripts 101-200|0167]]
[[Category:Black Mage Evilwizardington Appearances|0167]]
[[Category:Fighter McWarrior Appearances|0167]]
[[Category:Red Mage Statscowski Appearances|0167]]
[[Category:Thief Appearances|0167]]
[[Category:White Mage Appearances|0167]]

[[Category:Black Belt Appearances|0167]]

Maybe we should incorperate this into the Episodes templates.

You mean, add a {{{episode number}}} variable into the template? It sounds like a good idea.

Seems really useful, but I'm not the most experienced in advanced code. Cuts the time required to have to painstakingly type each link...

We can use an #if statement to make sure it doesn't effect the pages that are already categorized. Should I implement it?

Yes, as you would.
