Thank you for filing this bug report! Yes, we definitely need to be able to filter categories (i.e., category membership). Just today I wanted to find all pages in [[Category:Living people]] with particular prefixes. I think this is currently possible with the MediaWiki Web API, but it's tedious. I could not find a way to do it from the GUI at <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Living_people>. I ended up querying a database replica directly. Ouch. For this bug, I think you've run into the issue of trying to eat an elephant (or even talking about eating an elephant...) in a single bite (one big, complicated bug report). This is fine, kind of, but it means this report will be a tracking bug (also sometimes called a collection report or ticket), with specific sub-tasks. One task will be adding a filter toggle to category description pages. Another will be implementing the ability to filter to only files or only articles or whatever (filtering by namespace). Another will be implementing the ability to filter files only by file MIME(?) type or file name suffix. Another report might focus on the ability to save specific filters/views/searches to your individual user account or share that filter/view/search with other users. Some of these ideas will almost certainly already have bug reports, of course, but I don't currently see a tracking bug for the general idea and this one seems like a perfect fit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
