From what I understand, a category doesn't exist until the page for the category is edited, so even if there are categories listed on a page, unless those categories have been created, they do not actually exist until their description pages have been edited.
I ask this because I'm in charge of wiki that has a lot of blank categories (it was created from an XML dump made from content from another wiki engine that did not support categories in the MediaWiki sense), and I would like to mass add some text to all of these "wanted categories" so they can be properly indexed. Is there a way to do this, or will I have to edit all these categories manually? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
