   Say the WordPress I run has over 50 categories and they have their sub categories as well; and I'd like to only list the parent categories on a page.

   Parent Category A
   -Child Category 1
   -Child Category 2

   Parent Category B
   -Child Category 1

   Parent Category C
   -Child Category 1
   -Child Category 2

   and etc.

   And I want it to appear in a list with links like this

   -Category A
   -Category B
   -Category C

   How is this possible if I do not want to use a plugin that requires me to manually include or exclude the sub cats?
   Thanks in advance. :)

   'on a page':
   you might need to create a page template
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

   then add either:

   wp_list_categories() with the 'depth' parameter sert to 1

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

   or:

   get_categories() with the 'parent' parameter set to 0 (zero)
