FWIW, I think an alternative would be to create a new Result format for Semantic MediaWiki (as part of the Semantic Result Formats stuff [1]), and then replace our Category pages by a Semantic Media Wiki query (with another extension à la http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryMagicWords ) Of course, it may or may not be practical to do so given existing priorities, available resources, etc. 1. https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fextensions% 2FSemanticResultFormats.git > Of these 2 options, I favor the first... not least because we could also > get rid of the hideous page names (also a terrible artifact of SMW)... > so we could have "CSS Regions API" instead of "apis/css-regions". > > This sort of auto-categorization should be a feature of the future CMS. > > Regards- > -Doug > > On 8/12/13 5:24 PM, Jonathan Garbee wrote: > > I'd like to know why this is using a table in the first place.
