OK, I've fixed the problem.
When the Category:User_Experience was edited earlier today, the page
contents were changed from:
= User Experience =
to
{{User Experience}}
= User Experience =
What this did was add the Template User Experience to the category. The
template contained a link to this category... so this created an
infinite loop of linking... the category called the template which
called the category which called the category etc etc. So, anytime a
page that contained the User Experience template was opened in a browser
the webserver tried to render the page and got caught in an infinite loop.
So lesson to be learned... never link a category to itself.
This also shows the risk of using a Template to insert categories in pages.
