Using this on categories

I just figured out why this won't work on categories. The links are {{if lang}}'d versions of the current one. Well, category links need a colon at the beginning to not be treated as a categorization. Thus translated categories with this template will create some really strange categories (like Category:Celestials/fr making Category/Celestials/fr/tr). I'll see if I can fix that (probably not ;) --dgelessus (talk, contribs) 12:22, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

Okay, it apparently does add a colon in front of everything. Yet the template does strange stuff. Somehow it creates Category:Celestials/fr/tr on Category:Celestials/fr. --dgelessus (talk, contribs) 12:32, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
I've managed to partially fix {{Languages/Lang}}, it will now always add a colon, even if you specify a page. Still doesn't fix the above issue though... --dgelessus (talk, contribs) 13:50, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
Talk:Main_Page#Special:WantedPages_behaving_strangely and User_talk:XZise#About_.7B.7Bif_lang.7D.7D and somewhere else I was talking about this problem. But seriously, what is the advantage of this template anyway? — xZise [talk] 14:36, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
True, it isn't really useful, considering we have the sidebar. As far as I can tell it isn't really used anymore, except for talks and a few celestials pages. Those are the ones creating links to double translations in the first place, so I'll just remove them from there. --dgelessus (talk, contribs) 14:46, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
