Categorization question

Categorization question

Hi, I noticed that Template:rfv-etymology wasn't in Category:Etymology templates, so I tried to move it there. It took a while for me to figure out what to do, and I thought I had figured it out when I edited it, but now the page says that it's in the category and links to it but doesn't actually appear there. I'm pretty sure I heard that you did stuff with categorization, so I thought I'd ask you about this. Can you look and see what I did wrong?

Thanks,

Once you edit the documentation page, you need to edit and save the template without making any changes (a "null edit"). When you save a page, any pages that "use" it aren't immediately updated, it can take a while. Doing a null edit forces an immediate update.

In that case, since that template is locked, should I have just waited for the category to update or asked someone who's able to edit the template?

Waiting would probably be best. The categorisation of templates isn't crucial anyway, there's no hurry.
