I just wanted to announce the release of two new
widgets which make our
wikis run much smoother.
I had a quick look at the category editor because that's a feature my
users have requested too. I see some major problems with your
implementation which lead to me not installing them in my live wikis.
* I see that code from MediaWiki classes is duplicated, which makes
maintenance hard for you as well as for the people using your extension.
* MediaWiki extensions should use MediaWiki CSS for continuity. Your
extension looks really bad in a non standard skin because it doesn't
respect the "standard" MediaWiki CSS classes. Have a look at other
special pages.
* You don't use the MediaWiki message system, so your output is always
English.
* Patching is always a harder pain than just copying files. Is it
somehow possible to remove the necessity for patching index.php?
Do you see chances for improving that in future versions?
Ciao, Michael.
BTW: The install.txt doesn't match the necessary installation steps.
