Another useful feature, which would probably make the system much more likely to be adopted in practice, would be an easy interface to get from articles (or images, etc.) to various relevant intersections. For example, if I'm looking at an image which is in the categories "Maple", "Leaves" and "Green", I should be able to easily get to pages where I can browse other pictures of either maple leaves or green leaves, not to mention other pictures of green maple leaves. A _minimal_ solution would be simply to present a link to the intersection of _all_ the categories (which might well have only one page on it) and let the user broaden the intersection from there. Even better if this can be done in an AJAXish way directly on the image page itself, though obviously some fallback interface would still be needed for users without JavaScript. -- Ilmari Karonen _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
