MW supports redirecting categories, but not as much as I'd like

: Yes. Originally, this category was organizationally identical to [[:Category:Programming Tasks]], but evolved to what it is now. Sadly, MediaWiki doesn't support redirects in categories, and there are a ''lot'' of outside-world links to this page, so renaming the category properly is non-trivial. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 23:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
::We could probably get most of them by editing the link in {{tmpl|task}}. I haven't looked in to any other direct links. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 00:45, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
::: It's the outside-world links I'm mostly worried about. I was passing out links to this category for a couple years. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:08, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
::MediaWiki does support redirects in categories: [[:Category:Basic]]. It doesn't support members of redirected categories being placed in the new destination category (you may have seen me correct some headers from "Javascript" to "JavaScript" even though Category:Javascript is redirected to Category:JavaScript). The members of the categories we can fix in {{tmpl|task}}. The external links we can fix with a redirect. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:14, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
