Filters only work if articles are assigned to categories. Setting aside wether we should
use categories in wikipedia itself or only in some sifter project, categories have to be
implemented in the software either way. So I hacked a barebone implementation at the test
site. A list of current categories can be found at
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special%3ACategories
Currently, anyone can add and delete categories. I suggest that this will be restricted to
sysops later, as it will prevent a "category inflation", as well as malicious
deletion of a whole category.
Anyone can assign any article to any category, and remove that assignment as well. Wiki,
right? :-)
Currently, categories are *not* shown on the article page, although I have written that
code (keep getting some weird effect, though, so I turned it off).
To be done:
* Personal category filters
* Search for a category combination (in the example online, "Biology" and
"Germany" should list "Anton de Bary")
Thoughts? Comments? Bullets? ;-)
