I've added an experimental AJAX management interface for categories  
(like HotCat, but good). It requires the JS2 system to be enabled  
(which might be a while).

I'm not sure that it's strictly necessary to actually pull it all out  
of the wikitext, because it usually just sits at the bottom, out of  
everybody's way.
