The NoCat extension adds a magic word __NOCAT__ that disables categories on a specific page.

  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/NoCat
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'NoCat' );
  

• Configure as required.
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration parameters

$wgNoCatShowCat

Whether to totally disable categories, or only disable adding to categories. If set to false (default), categories are totally disabled for the page. If set to true, the page is not added to any categories, but the list of categories that the page would have been added to is shown at the bottom of the page like normal.
