Quick Intersection

Quick Intersection was an external tool developed by Magnus Manske that utilizes the WMF Labs databases to generate very fast category trees and tree intersections.

Options edit

  • Language - Project language code (en, es, hi, he etc.)
  • Project - Project to search (wikipedia, wikisource etc.)
    • Use "commons"/"wikimedia" for Commons; use "wikidata"/"wikidata" for Wikidata
  • Root categories - Categories to find intersections for
    • One category name per row, no "Category:" prefix
  • Namespace - Namespace to search
  • Depth - Category tree depth
    • Use "-1" for unlimited depth; use "0" to just get pages in the given categories, without subcategories
  • Max results - Limit on number of results to be displayed
  • Offset
    • Together with "limit", page through long result lists
  • Format - Result format
  • Image usage - Global image usage (enforces commons.wikimedia, namespace 6, not sparse)
  • Sparse - Just return namespace-prefixed page titles (JSON only)
  • Group - Group results by category key (JSON only, not for images)
  • Count - Get count of all possible results as well (JSON only; set 'Max results' to just get the count)
  • Category lists - Get the categories containing the individual page
  • Redirects - Include redirect pages in results?
  • Wikidata item - Get the corresponding Wikidata item for the individual page (or get only pages without Wikidata items)
