Manual:Category table/zh

追踪所有现有分类. 这些分类符合以下情况：
 * 1) it has an entry somewhere in categorylinks, or
 * 2) it once did.

Categories might not have corresponding pages, so they need to be tracked separately. ,, and   are signed to make underflow more obvious.

cat_id
Primary key

cat_title
Name of the category, in the same form as page.page_title (with underscores). If there is a category page corresponding to this category, by definition, it has this name (in the Category namespace).

cat_pages
Number of pages in the category. This number includes the number of subcategories and the number of files.

cat_subcats
Number of sub-categories in the category.

cat_files
Number of files (i.e. Image: namespace members) in the category.

cat_hidden
Was reserved for future use; apparently no one found a use for it because it was removed in v1.20. Instead, the status of hidden categories is stored in the page props table as the property "hiddencat" in.
