Expanding 0 one more level (001, 002, etc.) for 0-padded cats
[edit]The Mol Man, Fram, 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
