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!)
TIA,

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

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?
