Hi, The french special page on fr:wp https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cial:Cat%C3%A9gories_demand%C3%A9es&limit=500 is actualized by MediaWiki which don't give a good sorted list of categories. Only the number of term in category serves to sort out this list and, for the thousand categories with 2 or 1 items, the disorder is total. Please, could you add some code's lines in MediaWiki in order that the categories with the form [[:Category:month year]] are separated and put some alphabetic ordrer in this list. Thank you for your help - Regards

Reason:

6 year old draft that can't be merged or rebased. It's still linked from the ticket and can still be used as inspiration.
