I guess you mean 'commas'. Indeed, the above code will generate a
string of commas because the comma is the default delimiter for the
output of the arraymap function.
Just do it like this... "{{#arraymap:{{{Category}}}|,|x|[[Category:x]] | }}
Which specifies a blank output delimiter.
BTW, it is possible to use the MW API to list the categories a page is
in, therefore it should be possible to build a 'category adder form'
independently of SF. I haven't played with these features, so I'm not
sure how easy it would be to integrate. Where is a good example of how
to use SF to categorize pages?
Cheers,
Dan.
