We do rely on css to hide the hidden categories, but this is not documented in the prefs. So we 'should' either add that info to prefs or 'fix' the issue. I don't particularly see a reason to put categories that are hidden in the markup when we're just going to hide them: - catlinks is generated by the skin not from cache, anons all have the same prefs, and users aren't targeted by squid caches, so catlinks should be in a spot where we don't have an issue with server caches. - Search engines generally don't need to see hidden categories. They generally have other ways to find things on the wiki. Tbh, categories are generally hidden because there is no need for people to be browsing them, likewise search engines don't need to bother. We shouldn't be basing whether we insert parts of the ui based on what search engines need anyways. - Brian's comment on browser caches doesn't really matter. If that's relevant then there are likely other preferences we have which will be affected the same way which we don't do css for so that's nothing new. Anyways such an issue would be fixed when we deal with bug 31639 since a user_touched based ETag would change when a user changes their preferences thus invalidating their caches and making them see the new ui. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
