Problem

I'd expect that I could use notcategory=*somecategory to exclude pages belonging to somecategory and its subcategories, but this seems not to be the case. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible? Melroch 13:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Neither, apparently, does pipe syntax work as expected with notcategory! Melroch 13:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Indeed,

 notcategory = *catname 

is not implemented. Pipes are also not possible.

But you can specify multiple 'notcategory' lines. Isn`t that enough for your purpose? What do you wish to do?
