Dear all,
A new feature should be deployed on Wikisource Wednesday. it allows to easily add categories to Index: pages.
A new field is added at the end of the Index: pages editing interface that allows to input the categories the Index: page should be in.
The change is already live on the beta environment: https://en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Index:Wind_in_the_Willows_(1913)... The categories Foo, Bar and Bat are added using the new feature.
The categories inserted inside of other Index: pages fields still work as before.
It uses a JavaScript editing widget similar to HotCat with a text based fallback for editors with JavaScript disabled or too old web browsers.
For bots/gadgets people: these categories are serialized in Wikitext just like in regular wikitext pages, at the end of the Index: pages wikitext serialization. Most bots/tools should that are used to deal with categories should work without changing anything. You might however need to loosen the content model filter from "wikitext" to "wikitext" or "proofread-index".
For interface editors: the "category" field is a "magic" field directly managed by ProofreadPage. You do not need to (and you could not) add it using the usual ProofreadPage system messages.
Cheers,
Thomas
This is exciting, TPT.
I just checked it and it looks great! This was such a necessary feature that we were missing. Thank you so much for working on it.

Thank you Satdeep!
The feature has been deployed yesterday.
Sadly there is a bug in the editing user interface that disables the nice editing widget on Index: pages when no category is present. A correction of this problem is already written and hopefully should be deployed next week: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage/+/531551
I have also updated the HotCat code to work with Index: pages on commons.wikimedia.org. All Wikisources reusing the Commons's code should now having HotCat working with Index: pages (I already checked en, fr, es, it, de and ml).
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi TPT, Thanks for the wonderful update. Much needed update for Hotcat. Initially it was not working in ta.wikisource. then i updated the gadget page similar to english wikisource seeing your mail. (https://w.wiki/7s3). Now it is working well in Index pages.
Regards, J. Balaji.
