--      This module implements the {{category handler}} template    --
--      in Lua, with a few improvements: all namespaces and all     --
--      namespace aliases are supported, and namespace names are    --
--      detected automatically for the local wiki. This module      --
--      requires [[Module:Namespace detect]] to be available on     --
--      the local wiki. It can be configured for different wikis    --
--      by altering the values in the "cfg" table.                  --
--                                                                  --
