:One would need to explain why user categories must be hidden first before changing the policy? Don't object me with 'notability', we are on Commons, not on Wikipedia, so tracking files created or edited by a given user should be visible to all users, not hidden...

::I don't suggest that user categories be compulsorily hidden. It currently states that it ''can'' be done by using {{tl|user category}} (which hides the category), not that it ''must''. That's a different issue. --[[User:Moogsi|moogsi]] ([[User talk:Moogsi|blah]]) 00:01, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

:::Basically, hidden categories are never hidden. Over time, they became topical and non-topical categories. --[[User:Foroa|Foroa]] ([[User talk:Foroa|talk]]) 07:49, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
