Die category-Tabelle verfolgt alle bestehenden Kategorien. Etwas ist eine Kategorie, wenn es einen Eintrag irgendwo in der categorylinks -Tabelle hat

Categories might not have corresponding pages, so they need to be tracked separately. cat_pages, cat_subcats, and cat_files are signed to make underflow more obvious.

The pages and sub-categories are stored in the categorylinks table.
Information regarding which categories are hidden is stored in the page_props table.
The number fields are signed to make underflow more obvious. We make the first number include the second two for better sorting: subtracting for display is easy, adding for ordering is not.
If the information in this table is incorrect, run the maintenance scripts populateCategory.php and/or cleanupEmptyCategories.php , if necessary with the --force option.

Felder

cat_id

Primärschlüssel

cat_title

Name of the category, in the same form as page .page_title (with underscores). If there is a category page corresponding to this category, by definition, it has this name (in the Category namespace).

cat_pages

Anzahl der Seiten in der Kategorie. This number includes the number of subcategories and the number of files.

cat_subcats

Anzahl der Unterkategorien in der Kategorie.

cat_files

Number of files (i.e. Image: namespace members) in the category.

cat_hidden

MediaWiki Version:
1.19

Was reserved for future use; apparently no one found a use for it because it was removed in v1.20. Instead, the status of hidden categories is stored in the page_props table as the property "hiddencat" in pp_propname.
