Bug ID: 49044
Summary: VisualEditor: Category editor should also find
categories without a category description page
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools
Assignee: krinklem...@gmail.com
Reporter: krinklem...@gmail.com
CC: jforres...@wikimedia.org, krinklem...@gmail.com,

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Users and categories should not be auto-completed based on page names (API
action=opensearch) but instead based on their own respective query modules
(list=allusers, list=allcategories) because the existence of a description page
is optional and neither a subset nor superset of the database tables.
* Pages can exist for inexistent objects.
* Objects often don't have an associated page.
718db58f introduced category editing with autocompletion from opensearch (with
hardcoded 'Category:' prefix). This should be switched to using
list=allcategories instead.
That way the input field will no longer include results for inexistent
categories, and no longer omit results for existing categories lacking a
description page.
