−	Hey James -- found a bit of this wiki's history when going through spammed/blanked pages in order to get rid of them: [http://www.tei-c.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Catalog&action=history just have a look] :-)

Since I already had a root category, I simply added the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree CategoryTree extension] and then went on to also add a " browse " link to the sidebar linking to that root category.
