Description:
All categories are empty at several Wikimedia projects.

If I go to a category page, I see the category description, but no list of
pages. There is not even a message "There are 0 modules in this category".

Examples of broken pages:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category:Computing
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Computing
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_nouns
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Desktop_environments

HTML saved from http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category:Computing

I went to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category:Computing with my web browser
and saved the HTML, which I have attached here. There appears to be no listing
of the category in the HTML file, so it must not be a CSS/browser problem.
Also, if I go outside Wikimedia, like to
http://nethack.wikicities.com/wiki/Category:Stubs, then I have no problem
viewing categories with my browser. (Konqueror 3.4.2 using KDE 3.4.2 at OpenBSD
3.8/macppc)

Huh? It seems fixed now! (I had to clear my browser cache, some pages refused to
update.)
