Hello! The Swedish Wiktionary would like to implement Extension:CategoryTests as per this community discussion: http://sv.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Bybrunnen#Installera_till.C3.A4gget_CategoryTests If Extension:CategoryTests can't be implemented for certain reasons, it can be replaced with the very similar Extension:CategoryFunctions. The purpose of the extension would be to see if a page belongs to a given category.
This supported on WMF wikis. If you want it really badly, get the release manager to review it.
(In reply to comment #1) > This supported on WMF wikis. If you want it really badly, get the release > manager to review it. Presumably you meant "This is not supported on WMF wikis" ? Anyways removing keyword shell and adding keyword needs-review since no shell intervention is needed until its been reviewed by someone.
Is this extension still wanted or has consensus changed - it's been a year now since this bug was touched?
Note, both those extensions can give unexpected results when testing if the current page is in a certain category. I made an extension [[mw:Extension:PageInCat]] to get around that issue (but it makes previews a little slower, and doesn't as of yet supported checking categories for other pages)
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment for information on what is needed to get an extension reviewed before potentially deploying it on a wikisite.
Hello, this is a quasi-automated-but-not-really message: I am reviewing all tracking bugs for extensions to review and deploy to WMF servers. See the list here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=31235&hide_resolved=1 The [[mw:Review queue]] page lists the steps necessary to complete the review. I have copied them below and done some initial filling out based on what I can easily gleen from this bug and any linked to sources that are obvious. If I miss something/state something false, please do correct me. Also, if you haven't yet done so, please review the information on and linked to from: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment == TODO/Check list == Extension page on mediawiki.org: yes (Brian's), but needs to be updated Bugzilla component: no? Extension in Gerrit: yes (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/mediawiki/extensions/PageInCat) Design Review: none I can see Archeticecture/Performance Review: none I can see (other than Brians ;) ) Security Review: none Screencast (if applicable): none Community support: Swedish
Is there still strong interest in this from the svwiktionary community? (I haven't looked at my version of the extension requested here in a while. It was originally made for a non-wmf wiki).
This feature is not of *strong* interest to the community, but we would appreciate and use it. I also wanted to somehow indicate how we would use such an extension if it were available, since I have suspicions that it might be inefficient. Links to other pages show up as either blue or red, depending on whether the page exists or not. A problem we have is that we don't know whether a link to [bus#Engelska] actually goes to the English section or not (maybe it's defined only in Swedish!). We have very well-defined ways of categorizing entries, so a section Engelska will necessarily be categorized in [Category:Engelska/Alla uppslag] (or an inflection category). Using this extension we could solve that by doing something like <span class="no-entry">[[bus#Engelska|bus]]</span> and color it red (or mark it some other way). I'm guesstimating that it would be used 10-50 times on each non-inflection entry page. Is this usage efficient enough?
