Bug #: 33614
Summary: $wgUseCategoryBrowser generates many dupes
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Categories
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I turned on $wgUseCategoryBrowser and discovered it displays a very large
number of duplicate entries. I'm using this on a large wiki (Camera-Wiki.org)
with several thousand pages and hundreds of categories. In some cases it
displays the top level category entry as many as 10 or 20 times and many
categories are display 3 to 5 times.
Seems like a simple fix to add code to filter out duplicates. If someone can
point me to the appropriate piece of code I'd be happy to provide a patch.
Here's a typical display from the bottom of one page in our wiki:
