Sync assigned categories to wikitext

First of all, I have to say this is such a nice extension for wiki use. But there's only one question in my mind that I would like to point out.

In my opinion, I will hope to see assigned categories also show up in wikitext. For example:

Assigned category: Test1

There should be one additional line in wikitext: [[Category:Test1]]

Therefore, I don't have to worry about all pages with categories assigned will gone if I removed MsCatSelect someday in future because of some reason.

Even now this extension is working perfectly. I still worry about that what if this extension is not working since I upgrade my MW version? If not working, will all my pages lost their assigned categories since I temporary disable this extension? It's impossible to add manually back to each page for large wiki sites.

So, pls kindly let me know what can I do to prevent from this issue?

Maybe there's already solution for this problem that I never know, or you can take this as suggestion for possible implement. Thanks again!

OK. For this issue, I think the extension author has already offered a good solution inside.

For those people who may has the same question with me:

Since you add "Test" category in page by MsCatSelect, there will be automatically one line added as " [[Category:Test|Test]] " after you removed this extension. To keep each page still in correct category. But the $wgMSCS_WarnNoCategoriesException function is still not working.

In addition, $wgMSCS_WarnNoCategoriesException seems like not working to me. No-category warning will still jump out at every page.
