Categories can be nested in a tree structure, though the display is currently a bit awkward for that. There is not (yet) any specific navigation support for being "in" a category, though perhaps that's something that could get added somehow.
Does this mean that, if the page Category:Programmer has a link to Category:Human, Linus will appear on Category:Human without his article linking to Category:Human?
Here's what should be shown, given the current code:
On [[Linus Torvalds]] there will be 'Categories: Programmer' at the top.
On [[Category:Programmer]] there will be 'Categories: Human' at the top, and Linus will appear in the list of programmers.
On [[Category:Human]], 'Programmer' will appear in the list of sub-categories of Human.
If Linus is linked to Category:Programmer and Category:Man, will it be possible that he appears in a list of male programmers? It should be easy though I have no idea how to do it.
Hypothetically one could generate such a list, but there's currently no support for doing it.
By the way, I expected that categories will work similar to interlanguage links, hidden if not prefixed with :.
That's correct.
