Re: [Semediawiki-user] Using NOT with Category

[Daniel F. <dan...@te...>]

No. Quite simply a not in category has never been implemented, and is 
very unlikely to ever be implemented. Trying to go and query for 
something "not" being inside of a category would basically require 
scanning the entire database category table for every last single page 
on the wiki, then going through and removing any that are part of the 
category. It's an unreasonably inefficient task that could slow down the 
entire wiki.
