You can manually remove any values with id 14 (category), or use mw.Title to do it for you. As for the UI library, I'd recommend using the jquery.suggestions module in a MediaWiki context. Avoid jQuery UI. This is already used for page inputs (e.g. search), and user name inputs (e.g. Special:Log). Creating an instance of it for categories should be straight forward. You can use mediawiki.searchSuggest or mediawiki.userSuggest as starting point: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/resources/src/mediawiki/mediawiki.userSuggest.js <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/resources/src/mediawiki/mediawiki.userSuggest.js>-- Krinkle_______________________________________________Wikitech-l mailing [email protected]https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
