In my view, this kind of misses the point entirely: if
MediaWiki had a
proper API or UI for adding and removing categories (or other metadata), a

exists to fill a void left by MediaWiki.
Those interested in this issue can copy themselves on this bug:
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27312>.
Well I managed to make a quick script that can add/remove categories from
wikitext pages (I basically copy/pasted Parser::replaceInternalLinks2).
That way at least the category removal happens in PHP and not in
JavaScript.
