DEV: show parent category (movies) per topic (Motorsportfilm)

[darionewmonday]

There's a missing link in the content's chain. Example: "Fast & Furious" --> article, belongs to "Motorsportfilm" ---> Topic (or category)

At the moment, the chain ends here. Does "Motorsportfilm" belong to a parent category e.g. "Film" ? If so, we could:

• categorize the topics (Food, automotive, etc)
• use images in the background for the Category buttons
• solve the problem on 4.1

[dev-ckln]

How we can see categories and where we can see this kind of hierarchy, then maybe we can get a better idea.

We spoke about this via email. You said that you had to look into the code to see if we can go deeper with the data. That a limit was set, do you remember?

Yes I remember this, I was asking where we can view this whole thing like visually.

I have updated the layouts. You can find more on Figma, I have invited you. Does it answer your question?

The category tree in German Wikipedia can get very complex when going deeper. This is nothing you want to do with a simple SQL query. There are tools for this, the most powerful being https://petscan.wmflabs.org/. Still, you don't want to execute queries there for each user request of the mitmachen-tool. But it maybe helps with understanding and exploring categories on Wikipedia a bit better. E.g. here's a stored query I just did, which looks for subcategories of the parent category "Film" (Movie) on German Wikipedia. It only goes 2 levels deep, be careful with raising the depth level: https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=10919068

Parent category is shown as discussed.
