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

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.

Thanks David for your inputs. I think the drop down idea also should worok here for me. Can you please send me some page URLs where you have seen such feature? I did some google but could not find any existing wiki which has such drop down list. If you dont mind, can you please also share the code for me? Thanks, Swapnil
