Description MZMcBride 2013-05-06 19:18:47 UTC 
It would be helpful to have a built-in method in Scribunto/Lua that allows retrieving a list of the categories used on a page.

For example, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einar_Schleef> would return a list that includes:

* German dramatists and playwrights
* 1944 births
* 2001 deaths

As these categories are included on this page.
Comment 1 Brett Zamir 2014-04-18 03:05:45 UTC 
I'd just like to make the explicit suggestion that the categories be exposed be on title objects (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Title_objects ) as they contain other information about a given page.
