catlib.py tries to say if a category is hidden like

But many wikis have already templates for that. See the interwikis at

we list these templates within catlib.py, or what is the process?
This is how we currently handle stuff like this, yes, as it's the only
way we can get information from the wikitext. However, we also have an
api, so see what you can do with that (but keep in mind this doesn't
work for people using xml dumps).
