The debate I see on Commons and elsewhere focuses
on trying to fix
Categories, but frankly IMO it would be better to migrate them to some
other systems entirely.
:Let me precis several years' wishlisting on the topic:
* Tagging would be vastly helpful.
* Tags would need to be able to be queried with possibly quite complex
Boolean queries.
* Categories as tags would make a transition feasible from the content side.

Works with categories prefixed with "TAG:".
Check "flower" and "pink", click on "subset". This leads to
the
toolserver, and there's only one result, but that could be
"prettyfied" (dialog on Commons, previews, etc.)
Click on the "+" to add a tag without reloading the page, and on the
"x" after the tag to remove it, also without reloading. Everything's
still a "normal" edit, so the usual revert options apply.
Note that it's still experimental, and showing twice for me for some
strange reason when I'm logged in, but so what...
