Thanks for the research, hehe, good job. :-)

It does show up on your link:

'pagecategories' => 'Categories',
'pagecategorieslink' => 'Special:Categories',

Seeing the SVN diff of the mentioned revision in the bug fix, these are
the two settings(?) to edit, if we agree. I vote for

'pagecategorieslink' => 'Category:Categories',

same reasons as the mediawiki bug #461 explains:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461

Comment  #3 From JePe  2006-10-30 14:09:18 UTC
"On category pages in big wikis it is linking to a page with only the
first 50 categories from thousands of categories. So most visitors are
directed to a useless page when they are searching for other categories."
