getCategories will return hidden categories too #122

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.using getCategories on an article
2.analyzing which categories are returned

For the intent of exploring the categories starting from an article, getting 
the hidden categories too and having no chance of excluding them makes it very 
expensive or very difficult to get good results.

i am using jwpl 0.9.2 on a linux system (linux mint 15)

I know the problem is well known since i found it in here, though since 
december 2012 no one ever handled it.
I find myself using jwpl for a university research and having real troubles.

As you point out, this is a known issue.
We haven't found time yet to handle this.

A workaround might be to get all subcategories of "Category:Hidden categories" 
and then filter accordingly.
