[WikiEN-l] Automatick category links (was: Categories considered harmful" considered harmful)

[Poor, Edmund W]

Jakob raises a good point, but let's not through out the baby with the
bath water. I'm sure our legions of genius software developers can
surmount this problem.

Adding a Category Tag to an article should be the equivalent of adding a
link to that category.

For example, I add a "Category Pet" tag to the [[Siamese Cat]] article.
I would then expect to see the [[Category Pet]] page with a link to
[[Siamese Cat]]. In the "page history" I would expect to see the link
added with the usual user and timestamp indications.

Jakob, if we had this software feature would it address your concerns?
