Jim,

Why not just name it CompleteCategoryTree?

Hi Courtney,

I had this problem too.. in the docs I I mention that I had to do
patch adding an include statement to the old Category.php file.

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SplitCategoryPage#Installation

This seems to be a problem with getting class autoloading to work
properly.  I may have not registered something properly... I don't
understand the autoload well enough to figure out what to change.

We're working on a version that uses the AJAX category tree from
CategoryTree.  "We" means Daniel Renfro, who is working on the
EcoliWiki project with me.  To see the test version of that, check out:

http://gowiki.tamu.edu/dev/index.php/Category:GO:0008150_%21_biological_process

Note that unlike original CategoryTree, it tells you how many children
and disables the + if there aren't any.
Feedback would be useful for getting it to the point where we can
release the code.  One kind of feedback that would be especially
useful: what should we name the extension.  SplitCategoryPage is
really a pretty awful and uninformative name, which probably meant
that some people who could use it never found it.   The page isn't
split, after all, it's the queries.  But
CategoryPageThatShowsAllSubcategoriesAndCounts.php seemed kinda long,
and so does SlowerButMoreCompleteCategoryPage.php.
