This may have been asked before, but I haven't been able to find an answer. Is there any way to shut off the "Add category" button for pages? I know each user can do so in their preferences, but can this be done for an entire wiki? I've got users on a lot of wikis where the only thing they do is add categories, but what they're adding is not enough to warrant a block.

I know this button is there to encourage newcomers to edit a wiki, but on wikis where it's being misused, can it be turned off? Editing "MediaWiki:Categoryselect-button-add" changes what the button says but doesn't deactivate it.
