<p>Say i have a url: <code>/lists/more-lists/even-more-lists</code> and i have a route  <code>lists/more-lists/*</code>.</p>

<p>If i hit <code>example.com/lists/more-lists/even-more-lists</code> then it tries to load the index template (not the template defined by my route)</p>

<p>If i hit  <code>example.com/lists/more-lists/foo</code> then it loads the template defined by my template route.</p>

<p>I should add, that the url segments are category url's.</p>

# Template routes not respecting URL

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-06-24)

Say i have a url: `/lists/more-lists/even-more-lists` and i have a route `lists/more-lists/*`.

If i hit `example.com/lists/more-lists/even-more-lists` then it tries to load the index template (not the template defined by my route)

If i hit `example.com/lists/more-lists/foo` then it loads the template defined by my template route.

I should add, that the url segments are category url's.
