No kidding. On my radio scanning wiki, categories (frequencies) are to
be populated, but contain no text. Alas one must jump through hoops (
http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=Template:C ) to not
have the obligatory edit box thrust in the users' face.
And the obligatory edit boxes on empty help messages just get filled
with users' comments.
Maybe someone can make a better bug out of my bug carcasses:
[Bug 7347] Add __NOCATEGORIES__ just like __NOTOC__
[Bug 7897] allow stopping needless editing of categories
[Bug 8060] __NO_CATEGORY_LIST_AT_END__
[Bug 8810] "You have to log in to edit pages" 1-2 punch
[Bug 8810] List all errors when user is forbidden from editing a page
[Bug 8812] Special:Categories red links vs. $wgGroupPermissions
[Bug 8813] Documentation of $wgGroupPermissions is poor
