This is a simple module to strip [[Help:Category|categories]] from [[Help:Wiki markup|wikitext]]. For example, if passed the code "<code><nowiki>foo[[Category:Some category]]</nowiki></code>", it will return only "<code>foo</code>".



The module properly handles categories escaped with the [[Help:Colon trick|colon trick]], categories whose names include invalid characters such as "<code>></code>", and categories that are surrounded with [[WP:NOWIKI|nowiki]] tags. However, it does not support complex wikitext such as nested links or [[WP:MAGIC|magic words]] like <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code>. Even so, it should still remove the vast majority of categories from any given wikitext.
