Well actually, unless the supercategories don't display the articles of there subcategories they are pretty useless. Eg http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canine should display [[Poodle]] somewhere, since Poodle is in the Dog category. Actually, this functionality is what we need the categories for ("show me all actors", "show me all artists", "show me all persons"). Without that working, I wouldn't call the category feature "functional".

I disagree. It is not functioning the way you want it, but: * It _is_ functioning - it is only the sub-categorization that is not * I don't even know whether I _want_ it to function the way you say. Non-transparent subcategories provide a way to subdivide categories that are getting unwieldily large. Weighing this against the possibility of having a single category page that refers to all titles, I am not sure yet which I find the greater advantage.

As another issue, the text 'category' for referring to a category, is it the same on other languages, is it coupled to the name of the category-namespace or is it separately defineable?
