No. Note that enwiki has many *un*intuitive category chains as well. For example, you might not expect [[Death Valley]] to be in [[:Category:Bodies of water]], but it is: * [[Death Valley]] is in [[:Category:Death Valley National Park]] * ... which is in [[:Category:Northern Mojave-Mono Lake region]] * ... which is in [[:Category:Watersheds of California]] * ... which is in [[:Category:Watersheds of the United States]] * ... which is in [[:Category:Watersheds]] * ... which is in [[:Category:Rivers]] * ... which is in [[:Category:Bodies of water]] _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
