This came up in T194707#4448979 It's often the case on English wikipedia that the category (say //Women in Red//) is applied to the Talk page for an article instead of the article page. But when we allows users to track edits made to a category, it's probably the case that they want to see edits made to the subject page and not the talk page. Even though that page technically does not fall in that category. **Proposed solution:** Automatically use the main namespace page when we encounter a talk page in a category. There is no known reason for an event organizer to want otherwise. Talk pages are not used in events.

But when we allows users to track edits made to a category, it's the case that they want to see edits made to the subject page and not the talk page. Even though that page technically does not fall in that category. **Proposed solution:** Make it so that users can include talk-page categories when setting their filters. The system will find the talk pages, but then behave as though the categories were applied to the associated main namespace pages. I.e., the main page pagename will be the one listed in reports, and all statistics (e.g., # of edits made, etc.) will be gathered for main namespace pages only.
