Bug #: 38374

category

Version: unspecified
Platform: All

Created attachment 10846
--> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=10846
patch (for latest SVN) to implement $wgSelectCategoryToplevelAllowed
The attached patch adds the config option $wgSelectCategoryToplevelAllowed.
If you set it to false, the checkbox for the top-level category will be hidden,
so users can only select sub-categories.
The reason for implementing this is that it doesn't make sense to add a page to
the top-level category in many cases.
For example, I have the top-level category "pictures" for the File: namespace,
and (nearly) all files would fit into this category. This means it doesn't make
sense to categorize all uploaded files as "pictures". Instead, the users
can/have to select one or more sub-category (for example "cat pictures") that
matches better.
