Admin Forum:Quick removal of categories from pages

Originally, I wanted to import HotCat from Wikimedia. But after seeing that it's a complicated process, I decided against it.

This is more of a suggestion, but I propose a way to edit categories without editing the article itself. We have users who love to add tons of random categories, which disrupts wiki organization. To remove categories, you must open the edit form, which takes a long time if you have a lot of pages to organize.

My opinion is that we should be able to remove/modify categories as fast as they can be added.

Does anybody else agree or have an opinion about this? -- Echmann1174 (talk) 03:28, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree that adding a category is little different from removing one. And that that button for adding categories is a tempting target for mischief. I would rather remove the addcategory button. It should only appear when you're in edit mode. ForestMonthZero 12:25, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the fact that its so EASY to ADD categories and so hard to remove them has been bugging me for some time now. I don't care what way (if only adding in edit mode or adding AND removing seperately), but it WOULD be WAY better if adding AND removing worked the same way. Mak23686 19:06, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
