The Article To Category 2 extension adds an inputbox to each category page. The content of new page will contain "[[Category:]]" automatically.[1] See section Configuration for optional behavior.

Installation[edit]

Users of MediaWiki 1.33+ need to use the version for MediaWiki 1.35+.
  • Download and move the extracted ArticleToCategory2 folder to your extensions/ directory.
    Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ArticleToCategory2
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'ArticleToCategory2' );
    $wgArticleToCategory2ConfigBlacklist=false;
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['ArticleToCategory2'] = true;
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['ArticleToCategory2AddCat'] = false;
    
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration[edit]

User permission[edit]

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['ArticleToCategory2AddCat']

Set this flag to true and a second input box will be added, where the users may add categories into categories.

Parameter[edit]

$wgArticleToCategory2ConfigBlacklist

Set this flag to true to enable the category blacklist in "MediaWiki:Add Article to Category 2 excluded categories" page (you need to create this page first). Usage (example):

== Excluded Categories from Add To Article 2 Extension ==

;My Excluded category 1
;My Excluded category 2

;Another one

If you don't like the name of this page, you can replace it by changing the following line in the GetExcludedCategories() function :

     $specialcatpage='Add Article to Category 2 excluded categories';

Notes[edit]

  1. The text (i.e "Category" in English) depends on what language the MediaWiki is using.
