I've forked this gadget to User:Samwilson/Searchnotincat.js to add quotation marks and deepcat. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 04:18, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I think this should be added to this gadget or the gadget that can be enabled should be your fork as the deepcat variant is much useful and usually the one that is needed to find a category's missing files. Example: -deepcategory:"Our World in Data" "ourworldindata.org". Could you request the gadget that can be enabled in Special:Preferences to be changed?

Hi the main gadget has the same error: truncates the category of the query at any "&". Leading to unexpected results. example Described also here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415398 Today they took the repair request off the todo list after months .. saying it error was in an addon. Even though I don't use this extra button a lot (unlike the -deepcat variant, which works fine) it would be nice if this obvious bug in the commonly available addon could be repaired. It is in both: search-in-cat and search-not-in-cat. Thanks Peli (talk) 17:58, 23 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
