1,391 PointsAppending a category slug or id to the main category template
Why is it possible to append the category slug or id to the main category template, (category.php); however, you cannot append the slug or id to a single post (post.php). However, you can append the slug or id to a page (page.php)?
Is that correct and if so why?

This image shows the Template Hierarchy and all the possibilities for template hierarchies.
However the code in this answer could be modified to allow what you want to do i suspect.
