Thanks Nemo_bis for starting this bug and pointing me to this: 
*http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Category_tree_all 
*http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CategoryTree

At the example listed in the first comment in this Bugzilla thread:  
*http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Timeshifter/Sandbox_8
only 5 of the subcategories listed immediately below Category:Astronomy on the
Commons contain pages (galleries). I would prefer that the other 26
subcategories that do not contain pages not be listed. 

Maybe some people want to see all the categories, but people at this discussion
linked below only want a way to see an overview of galleries.  
*http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Categories_for_discussion/2012/07/Category:Gallery_pages

I would like a parameter added to Template:Category_tree_all that would prevent
those 26 subcategories without pages from being listed. 

I do not see why the exploration of the subcategories by the CategoryTree
software would stop the ability to not list them after they were explored and
found empty of pages. 

There has to be a way to access and more easily show in an organized way some
of the 106,000 galleries on the Commons. That number comes from here: 
*http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces - "(Gallery) {{ns:0}}" in
the left column. Namespace 0.
