Hey, I am new to MediaWiki... In Confluence Wiki contentbylabel allows viewing of pages that have specified label(s). It is very nice in that this page is created once and not touched again. But as new pages are input, if labeled, all the matching pages show up without any additional work.

Is there something like it in MediaWiki?

Appreciate the help!

Try using a Category tag, like this:

[[Category:Example]]

You don't even need to create the category page itselfas soon as you use the tag on a page, MediaWiki will automatically create the Category:Example page with a list of all pages using the tag. (It shows up as a red link because the page has no content other than the list of pages using the tag.) FYI, the Special:Categories page lists all of the categories currently in use on a MediaWiki site.

Eventually there will be so many tags (categories) by so many people that this list will become practically useless. So I want to be able to create a page or a link that displays only pages with certain tags (categories). For example, I want to display all pages with tags "Cars" and "Fast", but exclude "Toyota".

Is this possible?

Thanks for replying!
