[edit] ManageCategories
ManageCategories extends the editpage with capabilities to categorize the article in a user-friendly way. The extension also allows you to remove existing categorizations.
ManageCategories is located below the main textarea and consists of 3 parts.
- A select box to choose from all the wikis categories
- A text field to assign the article to a new category
- (optional) Check boxes representing the currently assigned categories
All inputs or changes to these fields are then transformed to wiki markup and put into the textarea.
[edit] Installation
- Download zip file containing source files. (update: I moved the download to box.net)
- Unpack archive into the extensions directory of your mediawiki installation
- Add the following line at the end of your LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/managecategories/managecategories.php");
[edit] Usage
- To add an existing category to the article pick it from the selectbox and click add.
- To add a new category enter the category name into the text field and click create.
- To remove a categorization uncheck the corresponding checkbox.
[edit] Known issues
This extension apparently does not work with FCKEditor.
It also does not work with the new usability initiative (Vector) editor: Extension:UsabilityInitiative
