Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multimedia and Commons/A warning popup when adding a DAB cat while using HotCat/Proposal/en
- Problem: If you try to add a Disambiguation category (DAB category) to a file or category using HotCat, you cannot see that it is a DAB category. It is undesirable to have files and/or categories in DAB categories. So a lot of DAB categories have files and/or subcategories, see Category:Non-empty disambiguation categories (not only due to HotCat). This problem has been discussed on Commons:Village pump#How to make a structural solution for not empty disambigious pages?, issue 2, and on MediaWiki talk:Gadget-HotCat.js#Could a warning popup appear when adding a DAB cat while using HotCat?.
- Proposed solution: A pop-up notification when you add a file or category to a DAB category, similar as the warning pop-up that appears when adding a DAB category via the edit tab.
- Who would benefit: Editors who use Hotcat, editors who clean up Category:Non-empty disambiguation categories and people looking for images that are not visible in the appropriate category because they are hidden in DAB categories.
