    NOTE on Malayalam DEFAULTSORT bug:
    MediaWiki's DEFAULTSORT cannot sort Malayalam Unicode text correctly —

    FIX: We use the "sort key" parameter directly on each [[Category:]] link.
    The sort key is the DisplayTitle passed explicitly, which makes the full
    title appear correctly in the category listing.

== How to Edit Key Points Position ==
=== The Malayalam DEFAULTSORT Problem ===


Key points appear as a floating box in the right sidebar. To move them elsewhere:
`{{DEFAULTSORT:}}` does NOT work correctly with Malayalam (or any Unicode script that is non-Latin). MediaWiki's sort key mechanism only reads the first Unicode code point, which is why categories were showing only the first letter/character of the title.
 
=== The Fix ===
 
Instead of using `DEFAULTSORT`, we now pass the sort key '''directly on each category link''' using the pipe syntax:


1. In the template code, find the section:
<pre>
<pre>
<!-- Key Points as Floating Box -->
[[Category:Articles|{{{DisplayTitle|{{{Title|}}}}}}]]
{{#if:{{{KeyPoint1|}}}|
<div class="keypoints-float">
...
</div>
|}}
</pre>
</pre>


2. Cut this entire section
This tells MediaWiki: "place this page in the category, and display it under the sort key equal to the DisplayTitle." Since MediaWiki renders the sort key as the display label in category listings, the full Malayalam title now appears correctly.
 
=== How it works ===


3. Paste it in one of these locations:
{| class="wikitable"
* **Top of main content**: After `<div class="main-content">`
! Parameter !! Example value
* **Within article text**: After `<div class="article-text">`
|-
* **Bottom of main content**: Before `</div>` that closes main-content
| Page name || <code>Something-In-The-Air</code>
|-
| DisplayTitle || <code>Something in the Air?</code>
|-
| Category shows || '''Something in the Air?''' ✓
|}


The CSS handles the floating automatically.
For Malayalam:
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Example value
|-
| Page name || <code>Kerala-Climate-Change</code>
|-
| DisplayTitle || <code>കേരളത്തിലെ കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം</code>
|-
| Category shows || '''കേരളത്തിലെ കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം''' ✓
|}

Ver3: Fix for Category Display Names

The Malayalam DEFAULTSORT Problem

`` does NOT work correctly with Malayalam (or any Unicode script that is non-Latin). MediaWiki's sort key mechanism only reads the first Unicode code point, which is why categories were showing only the first letter/character of the title.

The Fix

Instead of using `DEFAULTSORT`, we now pass the sort key directly on each category link using the pipe syntax: 

[[Category:Articles|{{{DisplayTitle|{{{Title|}}}}}}]]

This tells MediaWiki: "place this page in the category, and display it under the sort key equal to the DisplayTitle." Since MediaWiki renders the sort key as the display label in category listings, the full Malayalam title now appears correctly.

How it works

Parameter Example value
Page name Something-In-The-Air
DisplayTitle Something in the Air?
Category shows Something in the Air? ✓

For Malayalam:

Parameter Example value
Page name Kerala-Climate-Change
DisplayTitle കേരളത്തിലെ കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം
Category shows കേരളത്തിലെ കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം ✓
