           Summary: English doesn't show number of categories
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.15-svn

Gentlemen, there I was scratching my head as to why English users are
deprived of knowing just how many categories there are, vs. Chinese
users.

$ cat script
for i in '' ?uselang=zh-tw
do w3m -dump http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobart,_Tasmania$i
done|grep 'Settlements established in 1803'
$ sh script
Categories: Settlements established in 1803 | Australian capital cities |
6個分類: Settlements established in 1803 | Australian capital cities |
Coastal

Note how the 6 is gone in English.
That's because you need to do:
--- MessagesEn.php      (revision 50070)
+++ MessagesEn.php      (working copy)
-'pagecategories'                 => '{{PLURAL:$1|Category|Categories}}',
+'pagecategories'                 => '$1 {{PLURAL:$1|Category|Categories}}',

Probably you blew it for many other strings and languages too.
Or maybe it was on purpose, "too much clutter"?

P.S. Consider adding a space after the number for all Chinese varieties,
not just MessagesYue.php.
