Eg, i'd like to create a tag, MyTag, and then relate several pages with {{#related:MyTag}}. Is that possible?
I'm guessing it could be done with a common page that they all point to, where the hub page is called "MyTag". Maybe could be a sub-category page.
We want to tag our articles (topic-tags, not revision-tags). And then display "Related Articles", based on those tags.
This article describes a method using SemanticWiki, https://clkoerner.com/2012/08/28/use-semantic-mediawiki-semantic-forms-to-create-a-folksonomy-for-tagging-related-pages/ but that seems a heavy solution, since we don't need any other SemanticWiki features. Would prefer a simpler method.
Can't use Categories, as we're already using Categories as Categories, for organizing and TOC. We consider Categories and Tags to be different concepts. That Folksonomy article agrees. Eg:
- Category is Fruit.
- Title is Oranges.
- Tags are citrus, segmented, juicy, vitamin C, cold prevention, breakfast
Or
- Category: Books
- Title: Cien Años de Soledad
- Tags: Spanish, surrealism, Colombia, magical realism, Latin American
Tags vs. Categories:
- Non-hierarchical: We use Category as a hierarchical organizing structure. We want articles to appear in only one Category in TOC, but articles can have multiple tags. Tags are non-hierarchical, and can apply across different Categories.
- Permissions: We want separate permissions for allowing users to add Tags and Categories to an article.
- Hidden: Tags should be hidden from Extension:CategoryTree. Tags should not be listed in any Special page, Transclude, or MagicWord that lists Categories.
