--- Comment #2 from Brad Jorsch <[email protected]> --- Merlijn's analysis is basically correct. I only have two things to add: 1. This is not limited to the API, it also applies to Special:Categories. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Categories/Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_Dari 2. This is actually the documented behavior, although I don't know whether that documentation exists outside of comments in maintenance/tables.sql: the definition of an existing category is that it at some point had a page in it, regardless of whether a corresponding page in namespace 14 exists or ever existed. The question is whether this is just bug 1 (improve the documentation) or if the definition of "category" should be changed as suggested. I see no particular reason not to change the definition besides "it's more work", but others might know more about the situation than I do. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
