Alter the qty of sub-cats listed from within a category
Hi everyone - thanks for the hard work you do answering all of these questions!

I run a pretty large MediaWiki and I would like to change the way the sub-categories are displayed. For example: one of the categories, 'Cheeses' contains 119 sub-categories comprising of around 2000 pages. When viewing this top-level category I would really like visitors to be able to view all of its subcategories from the first page of the top-level category, whereas currently one can only see sub-cats from A to B. A visitor has to click the (next 200) link 9 times to see a sub-category starting with T.
I recall finding the way to adjust the amount of pages displayed from the category view, but not the number of sub-categories.
Is there a config option I have missed or do I need a plugin to alter this behaviour?
$wgCategoryPagingLimit controls the limit for all the sections of the category (subcats, normal pages, and images). If you want to have just one section have a higher limit, you'd need to write an extension (I'm not aware of any already existing).
