There was a thread on this a while ago. I was trying to do the same
thing.
Basically, you Can't Do That(TM).
If you have access to the Apache config (assuming you're using
Apache), you can define an interwiki link like:
c =>
http://yourhost/category/$1
and setup Apache to redirect:
RedirectMatch permanent "^/category/(.*)"
http://yourserver/wiki/Category:$1
so you can do
#REDIRECT [c:MiCategory]
I have not tested this with categories, but I have used the exact same
setup to do #REDIRECT's to external targets, so it *should* work...
Of course, it is not exactly the same that a true redirect to a
Category (backlinks to edit the redirection page won't exist, for
example), but as a temporary measure (until MediaWiki implements
category redirects) it can be useful.
