Usage / Features

When saving a page in a namespace that has the category check enabled, the user is reminded to assign a category before saving. This message only appears if the page does not have at least one category assigned. The page can still be saved without assigning a category, but the user must explicitly check the "Ignore" checkbox.

Configuration

This functionality can be activated for individual namespaces in the Namespace manager.

Requirements

CategoryCheck requires BlueSpiceFoundation.
