Forum:Listing untagged questions on an Answers Wiki

Is there a way to get a list of all questions on an answers wiki that are uncategorized except for Answered/Unanswered questions? Special:UncategorizedPages doesn't work, as even though they don't have specific tags, every question is still categorized by one or other of these two.

On a side note, Categories on an answers wiki used to be called Tags, and now they aren't. Is there a CSS/JS way to make this so again?

The wiki in question for these queries is Fable Answers. Thanks, Enodoc (Talk ) (Fable Wiki and Fable Answers Admin) 22:36, May 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * You'd need DPL for that. As for changing categories to tags, it's definitely possible with JS, although there are a lot of instances of the word "categories" that'd have to be changed.


 * I would put in a Special:Contact request and ask for a list of all the MediaWiki: pages that need to be changed to make Categories into Tags again. Someone at Wikia must know or know how to find out, because they did it. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 11 May 2011 5:39 PM Pacific


 * OK, thanks to both of you for your help! I guess the DPL thing is too complicated to be implemented, although it would probably be a good function for a lot of Answers sites. -- Enodoc (Talk ) 12:02, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Getting a list of uncategorized questions is on the wish-list for answers, but it's not an easy problem to solve in a way that isn't going to slow the wiki down (which DPL can do sometimes). As for changing categories back to tags, you can do this easily by editing the relevant messages on the answers site where you are an admin. It can cause some confusion though since not all of the places the word "category" is used can be switched to "tag" and the help pages usually refer to "categories", not tags.
