     WikiVoyage has a small but clever extension to do quicker lookup of

     diagrams" and it'd pull up the category of that name immediately
     without the full-text search being loaded.

     Thoughts? Would this be a useful improvement for Commons in
     particular, even without autocompletion? I suspect it could help
     reduce some of the category/gallery pain.


This sounds like a very good addition, yes.

+1. I often go directly to a category and every time typing "category:"
is annoying.

Indeed.
Erik, should an extension setup request on bugzilla be opened?
(One could as well ask it to be merged to core/MWSearch/TitleKey/whatever.)
