@binbot: What would be a real-world example why you'd have to (!) "subcat" a category? Which actual underlying real-world problem would this solve?

I never said have to (!)
In Wikipedia things are worth to or good to.
Now I am just working on such problems, e.g. Hungarian teachers have a big category, and I try to partitionateit. If a category has many thousand elements, it is always suspicious.

There is Special:MostLinkedCategories for categories with the most pages and there is Special:MostCategories for pages with the most categories.

Maybe that match the feature request (at least for me, from what I have read).

You can find all existing special pages on Special:SpecialPages of the wiki, under the section "High use pages" these pages are list.

Thank you! Oh, I looked for it in the upper section where the similar pages were. Sometimes it is not easy to find there something.
