Bug ID: 59111
Summary: Support categories on title objects
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

I see per
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Access_to_MediaWiki_API.3B_access_to_page_text
that you don't want to expose the full MW API to Scribunto, but I was wondering
whether it wouldn't be too expensive to allow title objects to have a means of
accessing the categories for a given page.
I know one could hack something together to check for "[[Category:" within page
content but it would be ugly if trying to deal with nowiki blocks, etc. As I
recall you may have categories added to their own table anyways, so I thought I
would ask about this.
(Since multiple categories are possible, I presume the ideal result form would
be a table of category names, perhaps without the "Category:" prefix.)
