Ok this is a genuinely perfect way to research an entire field by article instead of having to jump recursively link to link and forgetting what you were doing 5 minutes ago.

I've never seen wikipedia from this categorized vantage point. If we're being real their UX is kinda crap outside the usual search->article->link flow and could use a complete rework.

Lucky 10000?

Three tricks if you didn't already know:

1: you'll find categories at the bottom of regular mediawiki pages

2: if you click one, you'll end up on a page like eg. this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computers

3: the tree style tabs plugin in combination with middle-click is criminally underrated for navigating hierarchical data. (middleclick open-in-new-tab is only mildly handy, tree style tabs seems tepid by itself without it)
