Extension:TagAsCategory

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  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.

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

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 "NaN Categoriess" to "NaN Tagss".

Parameters
None

Changes to LocalSettings.php
require_once("$IP/extensions/TagAsCategory/TagAsCategory.php");
