Quick question, is there a way in the API (other than action=edit) to add/remove categories from a page? Because that seems to be one of the main things that would be holding this back from becoming an extension proper.
In my view, this kind of misses the point entirely: if MediaWiki had a proper API or UI for adding and removing categories (or other metadata), a gadget like HotCat would be almost completely unnecessary. :-) HotCat exists to fill a void left by MediaWiki.
