[[Category:[[Category:CatName]]]]

[JoKalliauer]

If you enter [[Category:CatName]] into the *.xls it gets [[Category:[[Category:CatName]]]]

What is "the *.xml"? Do you mean the Template sheet?

What is "the *.xml"? Do you mean the Template sheet?

Sorry I meant the Excel-Spreedsheet (*.xls)

I'm unable to reproduce this with the current information. Having tried:

1. To enter "[[Category:CatName]]" in Libre office and then continuing to Pattypan's "Validate & Upload" flow.

2. To enter "[[Category:CatName]]" in the "write wikicode" section in the "choose columns" step during the "Generate Spreadsheet" flow.

Would you be able to share the contents of your Template sheet?

I forgot to mention, that I use the {{Information-template, anyhow here the full information to reproduce it: (Some information might be meticulous and irrelevant)

How to reproduce

• Save Pattypan_uploader_main_window.png on your lokal disk in a new, empty folder without subfolders
• cd ~/prgm/pattypan
• run java -Duser.language=de -jar pattypan.jar "${@}"
• choose generate Table
• change to the folder with the file
• choose {{Information}}-template
• save the template
• add [[Category:Screenshots of Pattypan]] in the spreadsheet in the field below the categories-field
• choose validate and upload
• choose pattypan 2021-04-12 20_55_19.xls
• next

<#list categories ? split(";") as category>
[[Category:${category?trim}]]

So [[Category:${category?trim}]] has the [[Category: hardcoded, and there is imho no check if ${category?trim} does start with [[ or with Category:
