UNIQ385ee6e553c2262-h-0--QINU
An error occured in German Wikipedia. The heading of section appear e.g. as UNIQ385ee6e553c2262-h-0--QINU (cf. QINU fix). This happens if the tag missing category appears on the page (example). --WIKImaniac 19:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

A request
Is there any way a switch can be added that will allow the function to be set to default to the collapsed state? I am referring to the function. --Jerem43 06:13, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

A different display
Please take a look at en:Category:Application software. The category outline there was designed as a concise display of the category tree, intended for use by people categorizing articles and not knowledgeable of the existing categories. While that outline is hand-coded (and took advantage of some unique characteristics of that category), the rules for generating it were:
 * 1st level categories start a new line and are visually distinct (bold/higlighted/...)
 * 2nd and lower level categories follow on the same line without any indication of level
 * a category only appears once, whether the prior appearance was as a 1st or other level makes no difference
 * in general (it was hand-coded) the maximum depth was 4.

The resulting "outline" makes locating categories quick, usually at a glance. For many uses, it's not the tree structure that is important, but category existence, and the "outline" makes tree walking, expanding branches, unnecessary. Please consider such a display for future revisions. tooold00:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Special:Categories
Is it possible to change the defaults on the Special:Categories page - i.e. instead of seeing a list of categories, seeing them with the + next to the to see sub-categories / pages? How? --Robinson Weijman 08:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Can anyone help me out. pls.

FIXED: [+] in Category Tree stopped working with installation of V1.13.4
I use the Category Tree in the sidebar, and with an upgrade to the latest version, now, the [+] buttons no longer work. Also on category pages this feature has stopped working. Any ideas? Applicationswhisperer 23:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I found that I had set the permissions to the /extensions folder to 744 instead of 755. Now it's set properly and all is well.

No Responses
Take a look at the subjects added so far this year. Many subjects but no responses. Does anyone monitor this page to help people using this extension? Please respond. (My question is above.) --Robinson Weijman 12:41, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Examples of class, style, id, etc
Examples of class, style, id would be grand. 69.138.163.138 17:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

parameter DEPTH
Depth requires only 1 number, but the default is shown as "1,0". A description would be nice, rather than our having to experiment. 69.106.246.15 19:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
