Bug ID: 62277
Summary: MultimediaViewer should not display hidden categories,
or give them lesser priority
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MultimediaViewer

On Wikimedia Commons, files are tracked for maintenance or internal purposes
using hidden categories.
MultimediaViewer appears to display the first three categories based on the
alphabetical order.
This results in displaying non-topical categories which do not make much sense.
To give a few examples:
* FPs by creator/place/subject on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo#mediaviewer/File:Thyssen-Krupp-Quartier-Essen-Q1-2013.jpg
* License category on
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo#mediaviewer/File:British%20Museum%20Great%20Court,%20London,%20UK%20-%20Diliff.jpg>
* Maintenance category on
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo#mediaviewer/File:Glenfinnan%20Site.jpg>
The Gallerypreview Gadget (an older, similar attempt to enhance navigation) was
working through this through a blacklist [1]. I think ignoring hidden
categories is the quickest and safest way.
