Sorry, I did not notice that they were also located in Documentation_beats as well. I looked at the header template, and it only creates the images in the header, so it did not include the Doc_Project category.

I agree that having one central point for everything would make things easier, but sub-cats for things like Beats should not make it that hard to find them, and it will make the main category easier on the eyes. Right now we have several sub-categories that are not really needed, or could be compined with others.

Maybe the real issue is that we need to reorg the wiki in a way that makes a little more sense, cleaning out some of these old categories as we go.
