Hi, I'm looking for the ability to create subcategory or articke directli in category. Something like "Create article in this category", "Create category in this category" links in category view. What should I be looking for? template? skin? or do I have to somehow alter wiki source code itself?

MediaWiki deals with categorisation in a bottom-up manner. Articles and categories specify their parent categories, not the other way round, so this is not a simple problem.
One solution might be to use the edit form's preload option which, when used, inserts a template containing the [[Category:Foo]] entry into the edit form; to make the interface a little prettier, one could use the InputBox extension. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inputbox_extension for more details.

Inputbox extension does not solve this case because it does not allow parameters as options' values. In this case, a parameter is necessary to pass to PRELOAD option to inform the category name the new page will be assigned to.
I have the same problem here, because is much more intuitive for users to click in a button like "create an article inside this category", than to remember the exact correct name of the category that the new article is to be associated. But, after several months searching for a solution, i gave up, and i'm using iputbox extension to implement a button like described above, but the user has the hard task to remember the exact name of the category in order to classify the new article.
