Yes I think so (I haven't really used MediaWiki much - so I might be wrong...). There are in fact several options/plugins which can help you create lists based on tags. Let's start with the coreplugin "list filter macro". If you write: <<list filter [tag[category]]>> you'll get a bulleted list showing titles/links to all tiddlers tagged with "category".. You can create a "taggly list" with a template which will show category titles *and* all tiddlers tagged with that category.: In a tiddler called TagglyList write: <<list filter [tag[category]] template:TagglyList##template>>/% !template <<view title link>><<tagging>> !end %/ If you want you can show what tags are assigned to category tiddlers as well: In a tiddler called TagglyList write: <<list filter [tag[category]] template:TagglyList##template>>/% !template |>| <<view title link>> | |<<tagging>>|<<tags>>| !end %/ If you want even more control you can install TagglyTaggingPlugin http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#TagglyTaggingPlugin and write: <<tagglyTagging category>> to show all tiddlers tagged with category and if you put <<tagglyTagging CategoryTitle>> into each category tiddler you will be able to see a list of all tiddlers tagged with that category in your first tiddler - otherwise you will only be able to see a number indicating how many tiddlers that are tagged with the title of a category... You can mix the core's list filter macro with the TagglyTagging macro via a template like this: In a tiddler called TagglyList write: <<list filter [tag[category]] template:TagglyList##template>>/% !template <<view title link>><<tagglyTagging>> !end %/ It's quite powerfull because you will be able to open/view the contents of every individual tiddler from a category directly in the category list... A third option is to install Jacks TiddlerListMacro. It will provide an option to create an alphabetic list of all tiddlers tagged with a category - in a style very similar to that used by WikiPedia: http://sites.google.com/site/jackparke/jtw.html I'm using it here: http://mmpedia.tiddlyspace.com/ There are even more ways to do it -> ForEachTiddlerPlugin http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#ForEachTiddlerPlugin will alow you to style lists any way you want....
