well, if a category:YY contains "#redirect[[:Category:XX]] "can work and we
reach the target category, but there the page tagged with category:YY cannot be
listed in Category:XX, so redirection itself don't solve the problem perfectly
imo. I wonder we could get the tagged with the former category in the latter
category too, or it is not feasible.
As far as I can tell, this would be technologically possible within
the current and pending database schema, though it might prove
"expensive" to server loading.
Another option might be a "merge category" function (special page,
perhaps admin status required. Again, possible, but potentially
expensive.
Of course, either of these would require actual PHP coding to accomplish.
Is the purpose of this to allow renaming/merging of categories, or is
there something more that I'm missing?
