Category headers deployment
Yesterday I've deployed an automatic alphabetical filter and a bunch of tools at the top of every category of the French Wikibooks, thanks to fr:MediaWiki:Category-article-count. I thought that maybe we could do the same thing here. Then in a second time, if anyone thinks of a way to let the code choose between book category header and Subject category, it could be added too.

 * As I understand it, MediaWiki:Category-article-count provides the message below the category page itself, the thing that says how many pages are being listed. Providing a bit of additional stuff there seems reasonable to me.  However, it's not a good idea to get any more dependent than necessary on special hooks provided by the platform; as much as possible, customization should be done in ordinary wiki markup with minimal dependence on specialized/centralized management from the Foundation.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:25, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
