The CategorySuggest extension adds an input box to edit and upload page which allows users to assign categories to the article. When a user starts typing the name of a category, the extension queries the database to find categories that match the user input.
- Extension appears to match by prefix only, so on the LabView wiki, typing "bugs" does not offer "LabView bugs".
This extension has been extracted from the code in Extension:SelectCategoryTagCloud.
Installation[edit]
- Download, extract and place the file(s) in a directory called

in yourextensions/
folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

These are not errors per se, as the extension works with the following extensions, and they work as they are intended as well, but you may have error messages when using the functions of the following extensions (after the extension has been used, to be exact):
The error messages may be ignored, as these extensions use similar functions as the Category Suggest extension, which causes the error report, but repeated testing has shown no anomalies when using these extensions, and they may be installed safely on the same installation without causing any known instability.
If you do not wish to see these error messages, add the following at the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file.
