Discussion

If I see this right, all this does is change [[Category:Test]] to [[:Category:Test]] and leaves the ones inside {{Draft categories}} alone due to the and not inside_template. I don't think this is controversial that needs more discussion (especially since that didn't really work as Bearcat said). Nobody (talk) 13:25, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
