I'm an admin of a intranet mediawiki (version 1.10.1) portal. As a policy, I've suggested all the users to have at least one category for the page that they create. Users can use the existing category OR they are free to create a new category wherever required. But it seems users are still creating pages without any category. How can I forcefully apply this policy so that users cannot create a page without a category? Is there any way to impose this rule in mediawiki. Has anyone tried this earlier? Kindly suggest a way to put this policy in there. I'm a programmer too and manage to read/write php if this requires a code change.
I don't know of a mechanism, but this may be useful in some cases. A drop-down with categories, and the option to make a new one? Sort of like LiveJournal's tagging system.
Mind you, the list would get very long very quickly. Our tiny intranet wiki has about 80 cats after a few weeks, all relevant.
