A warning popup when adding a DAB cat while using HotCat
- 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.

If you're going to take on improvements to HotCat, it would be nice if you'd also do something about people directly adding the tracking categories that are supposed to be added by templates like en:w:Template:Citation needed instead. Anomie (talk) 13:51, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
