Hidden Categories Grouping (Community Wishlist/W48)

Long-term opportunity
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

View all wishes.

Description

There can be a significant number of hidden categories on an article, as a random example en:Arcade (song), there is no particular order to these as they come in the order the template that generates the category is in the text. Thus if you are looking for a particular one in the list it is often difficult to spot.

Suggest that hidden categories could be grouped into a set of named hidden categories. For example, Error, Information, Charts, etc., these groupings would be definable per wiki.

Give users the option of which of these groups to display in their preferences, default would be all groups if no specific ones selected.
