If I have pages in two categories where one is a sub category if there some way to get a list of pages that are in the Main Category without all the subcategory Category.

e.g. Cat Equipment has sub Cat Weapon is can I get a list of Equipment but Not Weapon?

 * No. I don't see a way to this without DPL, but that requires some technical knowhow. The only other thing would be to remove the pages in 'Cat Weapon' from 'Cat Equipment' so they only appear in one category and then use CategoryTree. If you're worried about not having all Cat Equipment + Cat Weapons on one page, then create an article named eg. 'List of Cat Equipment'. You'll need to update it manually of course, but having list and category synergy is nice. Check Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Duskey ( talk ) 23:54, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
