The CategoryTagSorter extension alphabetizes category links at the bottom of an article.
Description
editA MediaWiki page typically displays the list of category links in the order in which they appear in the article. For articles with many categories, it can be difficult for readers to find the category they're looking for. This extension fixes this by alphabetizing category links.
Sorting is ascii-betical, which usually works out OK as most wikis are configured to have the first letter of a title be uppercase (see $wgCapitalLinks
.)
This extension includes a user preference for individuals who prefer MediaWiki's default behavior.
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
CategoryTagSorter
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CategoryTagSorter - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'CategoryTagSorter' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
User preference option
editThis extension provides a user-preference option added in the Appearance section which allows users to turn off the alphabetizing of the categories.
By default this extension is enabled.
To set the default behavior to disabled (a opt-in type of extension), set the categorysortdisabled
preference to 1
in the default user preferences.[1] Like so:
$wgDefaultUserOptions['categorysortdisable'] = 1;
