One further point to extend my suggestion above- it would also be good if there was some form of url that could go to a specified category with this suggested recursive option enabled. If this was so then hand-constructed indexes, such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Indexes]] could be largely replaced by such links to the appropriate category. Also, portals could include such a link to give an (automatically generated) exhaustive index to their respective articles. So even for readers who do not use the category system, this enhancement could allow enhanced browsing for them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
