Hmm cool. One of the interesting things, is you can use the API as a data source. For example, here is a pie graph of how images on commons needing categories are divided up https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Sandbox&oldid=159978060 (One could even make that more general and have a template, which given a cat name, would give a pie graph of how the subcategories are divided in terms of number). --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
