At the UploadWizard UI when we add Category:foo in the category textbox it says
this category doesn't exist.
this bug is following of Bug 52444
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Whiteboard: gci2013
URL: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2013/5770741547008000
I guess the "easy" part of this is that we should make it clear in the UI that the categories shouldn't be prefixed with Category:, or at least we should consider stripping that out automatically when we search (or if we fail to find it?)
I'll label this as a GCI candidate task.

I think its better to be more accepting than to try to force user into formatting things a certain way.

I'll label this as a GCI candidate task.
And I will submit it as a GCI if/when there is agreement.

This, instead of forcing the user to not type "Category:"?

I said we shouldn't force users to type "Category:" in input category text box! and system should accept with out "Category:" only for that text box.
As said, as soon as there is a clear specification I will create the GCI task. We need more tasks!
User should be able to type:
*Foo
*Category:Foo
*Localized namespaces (e.g. Catégorie:Foo if a french wiki)
And have the exact same behaviour. (For example like in [[Special:RandomInCategory]])
One gotcha to watch out for is things like:
*User:Foo
Which should still be interpreted as Category:User:Foo

Allow category prefix when entering categories
