            Bug ID: 57256
           Summary: Conditional categorization is not updated
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Categories

Especially some maintenance categories use a conditional categorization - a
function within a template determines the target category or the sort key for
the category. 

However, this possibility is not fully functional. A new page is properly
categorized but later changes are often not detected and reflected. Even if the
page display the right current category, the page is not displayed in the
category really. Some cases require a pretended edit of every affected page to
be reflected (and the pretended edit is often effective with several-day delay
only). 

Examples: 

- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Move categorized pages where is
used by the "date" parameter and by the existence of the target page. However,
the page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Requested_moves_(new)
displays subpages which are currently categorized in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Requested_moves_(21%2B_days) or
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Requested_moves_(14%2B_days) or
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Requested_moves_(7%2B_days) now. 

- Using https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Category_redirect,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-empty_category_redirects
displays category pages which were non-empty when they were saved. However, if
the category is emptied later or any content appear in an empty category later,
the categorization is not updated.
