[Mediawiki-l] Category Browser/Editor and Search Widgets

[Jonah Bossewitch]

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.

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,
