I just wanted to announce the release of two new widgets which make our wikis run much smoother.
http://sourceforge.net/project/mediawiki-agora
The categoryeditor widget allows users to view the existing categories while editing the page, and automatically inserts/removes the Category tags into the text area when the add/remove buttons are clicked.

The categorysearch special page allows users to query the db for any/all articles associated with those categories. http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=130663&ssid=2007...
Neither of these widgets are very useful for the wikipedia itself, since it has far to many categories, and the in-out widget does not currently scale that well, but for small-medium size wikis we have found these widgets to be very helpful.
Is the best place to announce this tool?
BTW - the mediawiki-agora is a sourceforge project modeled on the Plone Collective. It is intended as a repository for an assortment of useful mw extensions that have no permanent home elsewhere. If anyone else has any projects they would like to throw in the mix, please contact me and i will add you as a developer.
Enjoy, /Jonah
