#1410: Category Management within FCKeditor --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: davidwilliambarker | Type: New Feature Status: new | Priority: Normal Milestone: | Component: Project : MediaWiki+FCKeditor Version: | Keywords: Confirmed --------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Comment(by Msul01): The linking functionality works, but I find it confusing, even as someone who develops MediaWiki extensions. I think the main problem is that there is no way to distinguish a 'normal' link from a categorization link. A secondary problem is that there is simply a 'floating' category link at the bottom of the page. Most new users would probably assume the link was not supposed to be there, and simply delete it. I propose the following solution: 1. Add a 'category' placeholder icon, like the placeholders used for templates and special tags. Use this to represent categories in the editor, rather than simply showing a link. Category links have very different behavior from standard links, and their representation should convey this. 2. The link tool will ALWAYS insert the leading ':' for categories and images. This ensures that a link always creates a link, and eliminates the need to educate users to use a colon. 3. Add a 'Add to category' button, which inserts the [[Category:Foo]] Wiki text. This will be represented in the editor by the category placeholder. I might be willing to take a stab at implementing this... but does it seem like a valuable feature to have? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1410#comment:4> FCKeditor <http://www.fckeditor.net/> The text editor for Internet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
