I tried using them on my wiki, but there was no button to create new cstegories, just the normal tracks. They are especially useful on cosmology-themed wikis like my one where adding articles about entities and objects is important.

This is probably one of the last things (aside from wikitext comments) we need to make UCP on equal footing with the Legacy platform. Custom Category tracks is one of the things that UCP should get but unfortunately, no Wikitext comments since Article Comments, much like Message Walls have been rewritten not to use the outdated forum code and instead rely on feeds which they are not based on MediaWiki and as a result, they do not support Wikitext. Switching to talk pages or sticking with the formatting options the new Article Comments give you is the only solution for now. OK, well thanks for the info on wikitext comments, but Custom Category tracks are probably a thing on MediaWiki too, and even if they aren't, they should be super-easy to implement. So will fandom make a replacement for them?
