FWIW, categories can also be very useful for generating offline wiki
snapshots. For example, for education I might want to ensure that my
wikislice has all the articles related to chemical elements. One
reasonable way to do this is to grab all the articles in
[[Category:Chemical_elements]]. In

but It's not very common that people consider adding interwiki of
categories (they think interwiki is just for articles) so we have tons of

In a similar way I have asked several times what the point is of interwiki
links for disambiguation pages.. The only answer I got was along the lines

That was a very good question!
In Persian Wikipedia, there is another engine that adds categories in
articles based on usage of them in English Wikipedia and in order to
avoid mistakes that engine uses a pretty damn complicated algorithm
that I have no clue what's that but It's working properly in

One thing could be looking for an article in one language but either not
