Hi,
I´m developing a extension and I need to add an article to a category.
I only get the title of the article, so I try this:
$articleToAdd = new Article($title);
$context = $articleToAdd->getContext();
$resArticle = MediaWiki::articleFromTitle($title, $context);
$linksupdate = new LinksUpdate($resArticle->getTitle(),
$resArticle->getParserOutput(), $f);
$ps = $linksupdate->getParserOutput();
$categoriesLinks = $ps->getCategoryLinks();
..so I get all the categories for the article, but I need to add and
remove
a category. How can I do that ?
Thanks!

Firstly, don't use Article, use WikiPage.
We don't have an API to add/remove categories. So adding a category is
nothing but appending category WikiText to the end of the page. And
removing one is an ugly mess of using regexps to find some WikiText that
looks like the category link you're looking for and erasing it.
On the other hand we DO have an api for things hooked into the parser to
add categories that aren't marked up in the page (maintenance categories
from tag extensions, etc...)
