Ah, okay then.  Dunno :-?

Even then, emacs-wiki can be made to complain about that while it is
populating its alist.

It'll get dropped in the project root directory unless you create it
using a full path (with exceptions like planner-mode being at liberty
to put day pages into a heirarchy automatically).  Then you can
recategorize either by hand, and then rebuild the alist (I guess we
can get the page-finding functions to automatically reindex if a page
is missing on first inspection to avoid the manual alist rebuild), or
else use 'M-x emacs-wiki-move-wiki'.

That could be a customize-mode option if you'd like.

That's still the default for the code I've written so far.  It seems
like needless pain to get the modified planner-mode to use the 365 new
pages per year in the root directory model again...

Its elisp... No problem!  If I wasn't fighting this weekend, I'd do it
then :-)

Cheers,
