[Problem with Mwiki] Link to list catagories not working

At the bottom of all Create and Edit pages in mwii there is a note to 
categorize all pages with a link that calls a special page that lists 
the category tree. It is preset to look at:
  Category:Manindex
  Mode:  Categories only
  Namespace: all

When called instead of returning the category tree it returns the 
message Mainindex not found. The page notes that it requires AJAX 
functionality to work and will not work in old browsers or with 
JavaScript disabled. I am currently running Firefox 19.0 with JavaScript 
enabled.

This did work before the upgrade and is a good feature to allow people a 
quick check of Categories available.

Regards
Keith

The issue is not as simple as I thought, so getting it to work will take
more time than I have right now. Can I please ask you to make a bugzilla
report, so it is registered, that also allows the other admins/sysop to
work on it.

that might be true, if I remember correct that was one of the extensions
that was not released for our version, I will have a look at it tomorrow.

I can confirm (a) Keith's results, and (b) that Category:MainIndex is 
alive and well. Something may be wrong with or around the extension that 
provides the "category tree" feature.
