 Godisme : In all fairness, and per Moncho, the latest version of the AdminDashboard and RecentChanges does show that we are listened to, just not always. Also, the new RTE is in a continual process of change to accommodate many of our concerns as well as browser-specific issues.

Perhaps, as it relates to categories, which tend to be an obscure corner of most wikis that few care about and even fewer understand, the team working on it did not themselves previously work much with categories. Even over at WP, there is a dedicated team of people and bots working constantly on fixing categories because the rest of us never get/input them right. What we’ve got may not be the best solution, heck, it may not even be a second-best solution, but I can live with the CSS solution. I’ll just make a point of publicizing it on our wiki. And let’s admit, we only got this because we re-visited the issue with staff over in Forum:Category redlinks not red. It is a result; just not entirely the one we wanted.

Thanks!
