I'm basing this claim on the remarkable effort people go to to get things to sort on the category page *just right*. People clearly use this feature, and work hard to use it. Take it to the VP (technical) on en:wp and I would be amazed if people don't protest hugely at the prospect of it disappearing. Maybe I'm wrong, but asking the users would be a good idea first. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
