Thread:Project:Support desk/Categories and Tags at the same time

Hello, I know I can use categories for hierarchical classification or as "tags", e.g. "Category:Pictures 2010" as a subcategory of something else or "Category:Pictures" and "Category:2010" as tags.

But I want to use both systems at the same time in my wiki. The problem is that People might confuse them very easily. I could make them differ optically, e.g. "Categorie:2010 (tag)" for a tag, but this isn't a very nice solution. I would rather like to have two classification systems, one called "Category:" the other one "Tag:", so people could use them at the same time. How do I accomplish this? I only found this extension ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TagAsCategory ) which renames "Category" into "Tag" and adds a box, but which isn't exactly what I'm lookig for yet.

Thanks a lot.
