Witness the two queries: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info|links|categories|categoryinfo&plnamespace=14&pllimit=10&cllimit=10&format=jsonfm&titles=Category:PD-VAR PD-VAR is a category with an existing category page, but without any category members. The API does not return any categoryinfo. http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info|links|categories|categoryinfo&plnamespace=14&pllimit=10&cllimit=10&format=jsonfm&titles=Category:PD_Finland Same query with PD_Finland, a category with members: the API does return categoryinfo. This is causing a subtle bug in HotCat, which uses categoryinfo to figure out whether a category is a __HIDDENCAT__. Both categories are hidden, but since only one returns a categoryinfo, HotCat sees only one of them as hidden. The workaround for HotCat would be a bit convoluted: get the contents of MediaWiki:Hidden-category-category, then check whether the category specified by this system message is in the categories of the checked category. Unfortunately, getting MediaWiki:Hidden-category-category would be one remote request more... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
