The Article To Category 2 extension adds an inputbox to each category page. The content of new page will contain "[[Category:]]" automatically.[1] See section Configuration for optional behavior.
Installation
[edit]- Download and move the extracted
ArticleToCategory2folder to yourextensions/directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ArticleToCategory2 - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'ArticleToCategory2' ); $wgArticleToCategory2ConfigBlacklist=false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['ArticleToCategory2'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['ArticleToCategory2AddCat'] = false;
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
[edit]User permission
[edit]$wgGroupPermissions['*']['ArticleToCategory2AddCat']
Set this flag to true and a second input box will be added, where the users may add categories into categories.
Parameter
[edit]$wgArticleToCategory2ConfigBlacklist
Set this flag to true to enable the category blacklist in "MediaWiki:Add Article to Category 2 excluded categories" page (you need to create this page first). Usage (example):
== Excluded Categories from Add To Article 2 Extension ==
;My Excluded category 1
;My Excluded category 2
;Another one
If you don't like the name of this page, you can replace it by changing the following line in the GetExcludedCategories() function :
$specialcatpage='Add Article to Category 2 excluded categories';
Notes
[edit]- ↑ The text (i.e "Category" in English) depends on what language the MediaWiki is using.
