Actually, if tags dont get a hierarchy of themselfs intersecting is one of the features I was planning to build in the Extension (or build in an existing extension if it exists). One could search for a tag, and another and another narrowing down your search. I can't imagine how many times I was looking for something simple and being forced to make a specific choise in order to see a picture. [[Categorie:German scientists who won a nobel price]] Such a category could potentially exist on Wikipedia or Commons. Instead such a photo could be categorised in: [[Category:Scienco Foobar meeting 2009]] Tag: Scientist, nobel price winner, german Now for that reason I don't think replacing categories all together is a good thing. Think of categories as sets, pictures that belong together beyond visual similarity. I mean a tag like "Wikimania 2009" would too specific imho. That's ideal as a gallery and/or category. But how about a category: "Groupphotos taken during Wikimania 2009" ? Too specific. But categorizing images of the event in "Wikimania 2009" and tagging some photos with 'groupphoto' . That would be nice. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
