Forum:Need red links in Special:Categories list

See:

Since red links no longer are shown for empty category pages there is no way for the average editor to see empty categories. --Timeshifter 21:34, September 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Which is why category redlinks were universally opposed. The best thing you can do is fix it with personal CSS, since doing it wiki-wide is a ToU violation.


 * Moncho, your first sentence doesn't make sense to me, but not allowing uncreated categories to show as red links is painful for admins. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 7 Sep 2011 9:51 PM Pacific


 * Moncho may have forgotten "not showing".


 * Redlinks serve many purposes. I think others besides admins oppose not showing redlinks. If one wants to scan a wiki by perusing its category tree, it can be quite frustrating without redlinks. One can click a lot of categories and end up nowhere. --Timeshifter 20:48, September 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are preaching to the choir here. No one here wanted blue links for non existent categories but staff really didn't listen to us. All you can do is fix it in your personal code as its tou violation to do so wiki wide. No matter how much we protest this, staff are not changing it.--


 * What's the code to do it? --Imanie 03:25, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

This is what I have in my global CSS. 03:29, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
