Description Umherirrender 2009-10-11 10:22:58 UTC 
There are categories defined by system messages:
* [[MediaWiki:Index-category]] (function addTrackingCategory in Parser.php)
* [[MediaWiki:Noindex-category]] (function addTrackingCategory in Parser.php)
* [[MediaWiki:Hidden-category-category]] (function addTrackingCategory in Parser.php)
* [[MediaWiki:Expensive-parserfunction-category]] (function limitationWarn in Parser.php)
* [[MediaWiki:Post-expand-template-argument-category]] (function limitationWarn in Parser.php)
* [[MediaWiki:Post-expand-template-inclusion-category]] (function limitationWarn in Parser.php)

There is no way to disable these categories. Removing the categorie name from message shows no effect.

Please provide a way to disable the category localy, maybe check with wfEmptyMsg before using.

Thanks.
Comment 1 Umherirrender 2009-10-11 11:06:18 UTC 
The way to disabled these tracking categories is to use a bad title like '<>'.
Comment 2 Happy-melon 2009-10-11 11:28:03 UTC 
That's not a very nice way to do it, though.  The customary way to 'blank' system messages is with "-"; that's what's done for the autosummary messages, IIRC.

Done in r57638.
