Is there a way to set it so that new blogs created using the Special:CreateBlogPage function are automatically categorized (using either a pre-loaded template or some other method) according to the user's name? This would have the purpose of automatically sorting blog pages by user name for all new blogs created on the wiki. So where User:Foo creates a blog post, that post would be added to Category:Blog posts by Foo without that user needing to manually categorize it.

Is something like this do-able, either through MediaWiki pages or some other method? -- LiR speak ~ read 07:06, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

It's not for the purpose of simply cataloging a user's blogs, it's to make it so that their blogs can be reached from a parent category. Like 'Blog posts' > 'Blog posts by user' > 'Blog posts by Foo'. If there were a way to get the UserBlog pages listed in a category, that would work too. -- LiR speak ~ read 07:21, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
