Right, it's just that, as I said in my post title and the text, it wasn't what I was actually asking for (and it's not how most of the admins and editors on Muppet Wiki do it, which is why I've mentioned which Wiki it is and our preferred way of doing things; it was also the way everyone did things before VisualEditor anyway). What happened was that I reset my own preferences to default thinking it would fix the text change (which turned out to be a bug). So I tried to switch them back.. and this one isn't working, following common instructions for how to do it (for example, here).

I don't know if it's actually a bug. I just know that it worked prior to my own change, and so in theory it should work again, unless a setting which enabled that preference somehow vanished in the interim independently of the change. (But maybe that is the only way to get an answer). Especially since "Disable Category Module" is still an option. Just checking it doesn't actually accomplish that. The issue isn't just removing categories. It's correcting spelling without removing and re-entering the whole category, fixing alphabetization, having categories appear in a specific order and other special issues and preferences.
