Description:
The prefix "category:" for each subcategory doesn't make sense. Are there different types of subcategories and does that prefix has to stand out so prominently?

This occurred in the 1.16.0 software; subcategory lists now are still ordered correctly (A - Z) but all links are prefixed. A subcategory page looks like this:

B
Category:Ballot
K
Category:Keyboard
L
Category:Lens
P
Category:Portrait
Category:Post

Its annoyingly redundant. See URL

not a bug, as designed.

We could probably hack it to remove the Category prefix when listing subcategories.

feel free to add that and see if it flies.

Looks like it was implemented since the prefix is stripped in trunk currently. Will probably be with 1.17.
