Hi all,
First of all I would like to thank you all for your help over the past couple of months.
Yesterday I finally integrated our wiki into our non-standard LDAP system with a bit of custom code which I will re-submit back to mediawiki. Though I borrowed from the custom auth one and the windows NTLM one.
Finally www.telstra.com now has 55,000 users(workers) that can potentially use the wiki. Its on the intranet so you cant see it :-(
Onto the question. Since yesterday we now have around 240 articles added and everyone is about to go nuts I believe so..
Q: I would like to get a category section like the one on wikipedia front page(after your language choice at top right). So you have overarching categories and subs under them.
How is that done with the FCK editor?
Also
Q: Can you have closed user categories/groups?
Cheers, Wayne
Telstra is using MediaWiki, huh? Very cool! :)
This extension might be useful for you: (I haven't used it) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SelectCategory

Categories are created right within the wiki. Any page can be added to a category by editing the page and typing [[Category:Foo]] (unless you use the extension above).
Categories will appear as red links at the bottom of pages until the categories are also created. The best way to create a category is edit the page and add a parent category.
Then on the main page of your wiki, you can link to a category page (instead of adding the page to the category) by inserting a leading colon in the link:
"Look at [[:Category:Policies]], [[:Category:Documentation]] or [[:Category:Dealing with complaints]]" (or... whatever :))
Also

Do you mean categories that only sysops can add items to? No. It's not clear what you're trying to ask.

Have you seen the LDAP Authentication plugin (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication)?
The select Brianna mentions is good. For our primary use we use the CategoryTree extension.
