Were you thinking of just a list of inline links (and
not have many
categories) or an actual
drop-down menu (which would be better for a large list of categories)? The
former you might be able
to do with strange bits of JavaScript and CSS (although I dread to think
how) or by modifying the
monobook skin itself (and, of course, any other skin you let your users
select once they log in).
For the latter (and indeed the former, if you don't have any PHP wizards
amongst you but want an
auto-updating list) I guess you'll have to lodge a Feature Request at the
software's Sourceforge
Tracker (
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=411195&group_id=34373&
func=browse) and hope someone
feels like coding it for you.
Our team is looking mostly for a navigation menu like the current one below
the search box in the monobook skin, but would contain our Category:xxx links.
We are attempting to keep the number of categories to no more than 10. It is a
very small wiki and very specialized. Perhaps as we grow, we might consider a
drop-down menu, but that sounds like it might require more coding time than
what our current team of volunteers can handle.
