This worked for me in 1.9.3, and solved a problem I didn't even realize I had (now realizing why I should not block viewing for non- logged in users on my dev wiki...doh) Thanks!

Is it going to be incorporated?

Is it possible to do something so that a link like [[:Category:Homer]] doesn't go to an edit page even if there is no text in the category page, but just goes to the category listing, as if I had written "Category:Homer" in the search box? (Other than manually putting the content " " into each category page so linked, that is!)

The following patch should work, at least against trunk...

Index: Title.php

--- Title.php (revision 24223) +++ Title.php (working copy) @@ -2481,7 +2481,7 @@ * always known. */ public function isAlwaysKnown() {

• return ( $this->isExternal() ||
  

• return ( $this->isExternal() || $this->mNamespace == NS_CATEGORY ||
   ( 0 == $this->mNamespace && "" == $this->mDbkeyform ) ||
   ( NS_MEDIAWIKI == $this->mNamespace && wfMsgWeirdKey(
  

$this->mDbkeyform ) ) ); }
