TASK DESCRIPTION
The pywikibot-core tests testing the categories of Albert Einstein on the English
Wikipedia are failing recently:
*
https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/56190901#L2710

Now when looking at the call
[[
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=categories&tit…
Einstein&clprop=hidden`]] it returns just 6 hidden categories. Just for clarification
it's `clprop` not `clshow` and a similar call to
[[
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=categories&tit…
Big Bang Theory&clprop=hidden`]] returns also normal (not hidden) categories.

begin using the new format, pass an empty string for 'continue' in the initial

I tried purging it and only a few hours ago
[[

NG reverted]] a
[[
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Einstein&diff=6538366…
edit]]. That vandalism also removed all normal categories so it might be connected.
