Specifics: - (1) $wgCatSortkeyOverride (default value: false) - (2) $wgCatSortkeyOverridewithS (default value: false) - (3) MediaWiki:CatSortKeyOverride (default value: " ") Option (1) In some wikis, users frequently use " " or "*" as sortkey when the article title equals the name of the category. Thus, if no other sortkey is defined, this option would replace the sortkey with " " (i.e. the value in a new MediaWiki message (3)). Sample: - (1) $wgCatSortkeyOverride = True - (3) MediaWiki:CatSortKeyOverride = " " If http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Denis_Diderot used [[Category:Denis Diderot]] (category without a sortkey, or DEFAULTSORT), the option would replace the (default) sortkey "Denis Diderot" with " ", as the name of the category is equal to the name of the article (gallery). If http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Denis_Diderot used [[Category:Denis Diderot|Diderot]] the configuration option would not change anything. Option (2) An additional option would do the replacement as well when the name of the category equals article title + "s". This can be useful in wikis with English language category titles. Sample: - (2) $wgCatSortkeyOverridewithS = True - (3) MediaWiki:CatSortKeyOverride = " " If http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tree used [[Category:Trees]] (category without a sortkey, or DEFAULTSORT), the option would replace the (default) sortkey "Tree" with " ", as the name of the category is equal to the name of the article (gallery) + "s".
I'm kind of leaning towards this should be wontfixed (or if done, done in an extension). Its not that hard to type [[category:Foo| ]], and I don't know, the proposed behaviour seems kind of weird to me. Cheers.
