  • Do you want to create a list of all categories of the wiki, and display it on the main page? Or do you want to list all categories that the mainpage of a wiki belongs to? – leo May 17 '15 at 19:16

What about

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Main%20Page&prop=categories&format=xml

The main page is not exactly brimming with categories.

  • You would probably want to start by checking [meta=siteinfo](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo), to see what the main page of the wiki is called, before fetching the categories – leo May 17 '15 at 19:21
