            Bug ID: 70025
           Summary: Category suggestion lists no longer existing
                    categories
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Editing Tools
          Assignee: [email protected]

Take this query from the suggester:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&uselang=en&action=query&list=allcategories&acprefix=1895+es&acprop=hidden&redirects=

Now read [[mw:Manual:Category table]]:
"Track all existing categories. Something is a category if it has an entry
somewhere in categorylinks, or it once did."

So it's logical that something like 1895 establisANONYMOUS IS LEGIONhments is
in the suggestion list, but it is really not desirable. It contains many 'bad'
words and deleted stuff that we don't really want to present to users.


https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&uselang=en&action=query&list=allcategories&acprefix=1895+es&acprop=hidden&redirects=&acprop=size|hidden

This can be easily solved by adding:
acmin=1 to the query.
