I'm using https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories/Rijksmonumenten to find and create missing categories. Since recently next and previous stopped working (try clicking it, the url changes, but "Rijksmonumenten" is still the first category). I'm not sure when it worked and when it stopped working. When I empty the field with "categories" in it and press "go" I see the first category of Commons ("!!!"), but in the url is still "Rijksmonumenten" urlencoded. When I press "next" I end up at "Rijksmonumenten" again. Someone probably changed the way navigation worked and forgot about the [[Special:Categories/Rijksmonumenten]] notation of linking to the special page.
Problem seems to be that the next and previous-links use an offset-parameter, while the special page itself uses from.
The from parameter should probably be deprecated and changed to offset everywhere. That way we don't have two conflicting systems.

Aude: Do you plan to rework the patch (as you are set as assignee)?
shall (me or someone) try again in a fresh patch
Change 41215 abandoned by Aude: (bug 43506) Fix pager in Special:Categories, make offset default param Reason: old and outdated https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/41215
Reducing priority for now as it's had one gerrit change attempt and abandonment. Aude: let the bug know if you want to try again. I'm resetting assignee for now though. Maarten: This bug is still valid, but is this blocking your work? Are there work arounds in place?
