=== How to learn categories === If someone finds a better way to learn the categories, other than just copying similar pages, or browsing the entire list of categories in [[Special:Categories]], that might be a good thing to explain in the [[MEpedia:Categories]] page. We have a hierarchical category browser at [[:Category:Fundamental]], but it is of limited usefulness. We also have the CategoryTree extension installed. Maybe we should consider one of the category extensions listed here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Category_extensions [[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 15:20, 8 April 2019 (EDT) :Oh, you know, [[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]], I have no idea if we have the dev capacity to do this, but it does seem like the WP extension I mentioned, HotCat, is available for use on other wikis: here's the documentation on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-HotCat on Wikimedia Commons]. It's totally amazing: it works in Visual Editor and you just type in a few letters of a category you think might be applicable and then it creates a dropdown menu, much like the search bar, to show you all the options that exist and you select which one/ones you want. It's so simple and saves you from trying to add categories that don't exist, saving, finding out they're redlinks, having to go back and delete those, manually search for which ones do exist, etc. Two thumbs up. [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 15:57, 8 April 2019 (EDT) ::Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it! I forgot to mention that the [[Contents]] page is ''supposed'' to be the definitive listing of the categories and where pages belong. However, it's quite outdated and only Admins can update it. ::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 16:49, 8 April 2019 (EDT) ====Re: How to learn categories -- ~~~~==== :: Replace this text with your reply
