I also want this. Would it be possible to write a PHP script to do this?
Looking at the categorylinks table:
Field Type Null Default
cl_from int(8) No 0
cl_to varchar(255) No
cl_sortkey varchar(255) No
cl_timestamp timestamp(14) Yes NULL
something like a "SELECT DISTINCT cl_to FROM categorylinks"
is this the best place to get this catList? there doesnt seem to be a
standalone table of categories, just the list of to/from links.
So then wrap it up in a wiki extension, and later use anywhere as
<catList >showLinks=true; </catList>
the showLinks=true is just a parameter to make the links hot, so to
return html like
<A href=... ?title=Category:myCategory>myCategory</a>

before I start just wanted some advice as to whether this is a much
more tricky can of worms than it looks...
