Limit categorisation to the Main namespace?[edit]

Is it worth limiting templatised categorisation to pages in the Main namespace? As an example of a problem, see User:Try.else.finally which shows up in several categories. This could be achieved by replacing "[[Category:...]]" with "{{#if:{{NAMESPACE}}||[[Category:...]]}}", perhaps. - Stelio (talk) 17:21, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Depends a bit on how much people use bare categories. Typically for queries that look at categories we do [[Category:...]] [[:+]] to just exclude other namespaces from the query, which takes care of a lot of the use cases. But probably not all, so it might be worth excluding other namespaces from the categories altogether. The caveat is that sometimes it's a useful debugging trick to do something like that; there are other ways to do it, but it would limit options a bit. Tirerim (talk) 18:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
