Parsoid would make pulling out and editing the category tags much easier. This might be an interesting test case for the parsoid-DOM future. --scott On Jul 17, 2013 6:41 PM, "Yuvi Panda" yuvipanda@gmail.com wrote:

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

things that would be holding this back from becoming an extension proper.
There isn't currently (we hit this in the mobile commons app). Currently we have to get the wikitext, parse out the categories (eek wikitext), and then add/replace/edit them. Regexes all over. Not fun.
But fixing that would take a lot more work, I think.
