Can you elaborate what you mean? Does this affect one wiki or all wikis?

I still believe this feature is important, but it is true that I haven't done anything about it. My apologies for that. I will move this task to my private backlog.

@Lens0021 Sorry to ask again but given that almost a year has passed since you were assigned here, do you still plan on working on this? If not I would recommend you unassigned yourself and/or close the task as declined.

The RfF has now been closed and we will therefore be proceeding by adding the option of having five pre-defined tags in addition to the current categories system.

While not wanting to pre-empt the discussion at https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_noticeboard#Request_for_Feedback:_Categories_and_the_tagging_system it seems quite clear that there is wide support so far from the community to both keep the current category system but also to add a new 'tag' system. While obviously work shouldn't start before the RfF is completed, after a discussion with @Universal_Omega I think it would be best to do this in three stages (originally I thought of two but @Agent_Isai suggested #3). The rationale is that between Stage 1 and 2 wikis can start getting used to the new system and tagging their wikis and Stage 2 wouldn't be very useful at the beginning of the process in any case.

@Agent_Isai Status?

Assigning to Agent for community consultation. I would recommend having two main options for implementation: either we keep one main category and then tags or we just have tags

Nope, I almost forgot about this and I don't have a strict plan currently.

Any progress on this?

That would be an interesting idea to consider. Perhaps then the Request for Feedback should focus on that idea.

I have been thinking about this briefly, I have seen people complain in the past with "but my wiki spans multiple categories", why don't we consider wiki tags instead of categories? That way we can define many/infinite list of wiki 'tags' and a wiki can select multiple that suite their wiki needs. This would allow fine grain searching for wiki discovery while prevent the problem of "but the categories are not specific enough or not expansive".

It's one end objective that all Miraheze maintained extensions have mediawiki-standard CI

9 different software components = 9 different tasks surely? They just good task management and makes things easily trackable and measurable.

It's probably better to be tracking things separately and have subtasks for each extension
