Usage / Features

When saving a page in a namespace that has the category check enabled, the user is reminded to assign a category before saving. The page can still be saved without assigning a category, but the user must explicitly check the "Ignore" checkbox. This is also true if the page already has category links. In that case, the box content changes to confirm the current categorization of the page.

Configuration

This functionality can be activated for individual namespaces, for example via extension BlueSpiceNamespaceManager.

Requirements

CategoryCheck requires BlueSpiceFoundation.
