   Just out of curiosity, if I have Page slug called 'events' and I also have a Post Category called 'events' as well, and my permalinks are set to /%category%/%postid% which one will win... the Page slug or the Category slug? Is it just based on which one comes first in the database?

   Thanks

   starting permalinks with
   %category%
   to start is redundant as wordpress assumes this already on category views so you are running a lot of extra queries
   just use
   %postid%
   or
   %postname%
   and you won't need to worry about it

   My research has shown that Pages take precedence over Categories when they both share the same slug.

   Can anyone confirm/disprove this?
