[edit] What can this extension do?
This extension provides folksonomy tagging to wiki users, allowing them to tag (categorize) content without using the "edit" tab or knowing Category: syntax.
The categories section at the end of each article will now look something like this:
Categories will be called tags, and a quicker syntax-free interface is provided for adding new ones.
[edit] Usage
Go to any article page, scroll down to the bottom, enter a tag (category name) with which to classify the article, and click "Add Tag".
NOTE: Users must have permissions to edit the content in order to add a tag.
- This restriction doesn't seem to be fonctionnal on MediaWiki 1.11.2
[edit] Installation
Save the code below as TagAsCategory.php, place the file in your extensions/ subdirectory, and add the following line to LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/TagAsCategory/TagAsCategory.php");
We also recommend changing the "Categories" label to "Tags". This can be done by going to the "Special:Allmessages" page, and changing the value of "pagecategories" from "Categories" to "Tags" .
[edit] Parameters
None
