I'll tell you what won't work, even though it would seem like the obvious and simplest solution: A category redirect. Quoting The Other Wiki:"Do not create inter-category redirects, by adding a line to a category page. Articles added to a 'redirected' category do not show up in the target category, preventing proper categorization. What's worse, since redirected categories do not become 'red links', editors won't be aware even when they add an article to a redirected category." The template adding the categories would have to recognize that certain arguments should be transformed in the process of generating the category link. Should be doable, though. Something like this inserted into the category link generation: Again, I'll play with it a bit in userspace.
