Template talk:Large category TOC numeric

Expanding 0 one more level (001, 002, etc.) for 0-padded cats
,, or anyone capable: very large categories, such as Category:Main-belt asteroids and Category:Numbered asteroids have many 1000s of 0-padded 6-digit entries. Currently, only links to 0, 01, 02, ..., 09 exist, allowing the user to advance in steps of 10,000. It would be useful to have 1 more level of depth, to allow the user to advance in steps of 1000, either in this template or maybe as a new one (like "Large category TOC numeric padded"). Can someone make/add this?

Here's a summary (horizontally offset text is intentional & aligned on the "-" and "=" in each row): pad range: 00000 -0000 = 98     (appear on first page of category) (current behavior) num range:     1-    99 = 98

pad range: 0000 -000    = 900    (appear on first 5 pages of category) (current behavior) num range:    99-   999 = 900

pad range: 000  -00     = 9000   (split up using 001, 002, ..., 009) (requested behavior) num range:   999-  9999 = 9000

pad range: 00   -0      = 90,000 (split up using 01, 02, ..., 09) (current behavior) num range:  9999- 99999 = 90,000

pad range: 0    -9      =900,000 (split up using 1, 2, ..., 9) (current behavior) num range: 99999-999999 =900,000 ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 16:19, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
