Hi all,
sorry for the mixup, it somehow fell through our cracks that deepcategory is not yet working on all wikis. For wikis that are not indexed yet, for now deepcategory seems to be returning all results of the category whose name was entered.
Now, since we are now indexing categories only for select wikis - the list is here: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/categories-rdf.dblist
https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/categories-rdf.dblist - we may
consider adding more wikis to it. E.g. see: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194139
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194139
So which wikis need to be added?
Deep category should work on all wikis, so can we allow deep category on all wikis? Stas, I saw that you already added all wikis with > 1000 categories for indexing. Do you know when this will start working? And do you know when we can have this on all wikis?
For the time being, we will add a note to the information of the "Pages in this category" info text, so people don't get confused.
Best, Lea
