I find it a little frustrating that this wheel gets reinvented so often. My tool was used a couple of times after I posted it, and now as maybe one user per day (from a quick glance at the logs). What is going on here? I'm stating to think tht nobody actually gives a damn about category intersection, except for a couple of vocal people on the mailing list. And out of these only a fraction actually _works_ on the problem.
Perhaps just category intersection isn't enough. I was thinking about a tool that would allow intersection of various article data, including the categories.
For example, suppose that I am maintaining [[1991 in art]]. I would want to find all articles that link to [[1991]] and are in a subcategory of [[:Category:Visual arts]]. And don't even get me started about what could be done if template parameters would be recorder somewhere...
