As I vaguely recall, the main barrier to treating categories as tags in the past was that MySQL was terrible at it and it would have crippled performance. (I have no idea if MariaDB is better, but I have no reason to think so.) Hence the workaround with sending the functionality off to the toolserver. It's really annoying because cats-as-tags would be perfect for Commons. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
