I'm querying the API to get the categories and subcategories for a page, and
I'd like to be able to exclude hidden categories and administration
categories from the result. The queries that I currently use look like
this:
Category Pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Category:$catname…
tle=Category:$catname&list=categorymembers&cmlimit=500&prop=categories&forma
t=php
Non-Category Pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=$pagename&prop=…
gories&redirects&format=php
where $catname and $pagename are replaced by the page titles. Is there a
way to either exclude categories that are hidden categories, or that are
subcategories of the "Category:Hidden categories" category?
Thanks,
Robert
