Extension:MetaMan

What can this extension do?
MetaMan aims to improve the editing and maintenance of pages by adding suggestions for categories and properties (Semantic Media Wiki) based on similar pages. Under the assumption that similar pages (to the current page) most likely contain categories and properties that might also be wanted, those suggestions are being ranked by relevance and listed as clickable links. MetaMan also provides lists of the currently assigned categories and properties (which are in sync with the textarea). Those list items can be removed from the wiki text by clicking them.

The point is to give users an overview of relevant metadata that the page being edited might still be lacking so far.

Usage
Self-explanatory. See the attached screenshot for a preview.

Installation

 * 1) Download MetaMan on github: http://github.com/timotgl/metaman/downloads
 * 2) Unzip it, put the extracted folder named "metaman" in your MediaWiki's /extensions directory.
 * 3) Put the following line in your LocalSettings.php:

Known Issues
MetaMan still needs further testing. Several people reported that the metadata suggestions keep on loading infinitely. This means the loading icon (gif image) doesn't get replaced with the actual suggestions retrieved via AJAX from your MediaWiki server. Please send me any info you got on why the javascript failed. For debugging purposes, I personally recommend the Firebug AddOn if you're using Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/1843
