What can this extension do? [edit]
Adds a second category box to the top-right of each page, to increase visibility and usage of categories by end-users. This works best when the list of categories is quite small, but will grow indefinitely.
Installation [edit]
Create a subdirectory in your extensions directory:
(we do this to make it easy to distribute all Uniwiki extensions as a bundle)
cd /your/wiki/extensions mkdir uniwiki

Internationalizing Uniwiki extensions [edit]
The Uniwiki extensions are available in several languages already, and it is very easy to add a new language. Each extension that has interface text includes a .i18n file with the internationalized system messages. Follow the instructions here to add the new language to the file.
