- Make <mytag>, when parsed, automatically append [[Category:Pages that
use mytag]] to the page output? Is this possible/workable? Can you add a category programmatically like this, and will it show up in Special:Categories?
That would be the simplest approach. An example of doing this can be found at http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Robchurch/Categorising_parse....
- Create a new Special page that lists all pages that use the tag, via
SQL query? (Meaning I will now have coupling between the <mytag> extension and the Special page.)
This would require tracking such links in a custom table, similar to the page link tables, for example. Trickier, but more user-transparent.
