Description
Hide a prefix in the pagenames of category members. Use a Template containing something similar to this:
<div class="mw-cat-hideprefix" style="display: none;">{{{1|{{PAGENAME}}/}}}</div>
And include it like {{MyTemplate|your prefix here}}, e.g.: {{HideCategoryPrefix|your prefix here}}. If the first parameter is left blank, the script will use the title of the category as prefix (useful for categories like Category:Snippets with JavaScript). You may want to redefine that as for your needs.

$( function () {
$( '.mw-cat-hideprefix, #mw-cat-hideprefix' ).each( function ( i, el ) {
var prefix = el.textContent.trim();
if ( prefix ) {
$( '#mw-pages a' ).text( function ( i, val ) {
return val.slice( 0, prefix.length ) === prefix ? val.slice( prefix.length ) : val;
} );
}
} );
} );
