             Bug #: 39659
           Summary: Switch to filter out subpages from
                    Special:UncategorizedPages
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.20-git
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Special pages
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


On some wikis, subpages are a legitimate way to organize pages in hierarchical
trees which is complementary to categories: actually, where they are not,
subpages are not supposed to be enabled. 
Listing all subpages makes the list of uncategorized pages completely useless
for categorization work.

For instance a couple years ago I categorized all pages which needed to be
categorized on Meta-Wiki and even after this work there were more than 1200
pages listed there, of which only 65 actually needed to be categorized
([[m:User:Nemo bis/Uncategorized non-subpages]]) and a half shared a handful
common basepages (cf. [[m:User:Nemo bis/Uncategorized subpages of non-common
basepages]]).
