Before someone is encouraged to work on something that will never be accepted
by the community and/or the foundation. Be ware of existing initiatives (both
on-going and completed ones).
* As mentioned by MZMcBride, the HotCat gadget is an established piece of code.
The primary maintained version lives on Wikimedia Commons (other wikis load it
from there).
- [[commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js]]
- [[MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js]]
Aside from being in popular use and being well translated, it is also
actively maintained.
* A few years ago it was attempted to implement a visual category editor
in MediaWiki core. Though it was taken out, I brought back the code as a
MediaWiki extension.

* The VisualEditor also intends to implement an interface to edit page
meta data (such as categories). Given that VisualEditor is scheduled to be
enabled by default (on some Wikimedia wikis) in July, and the expected path
it will take from there, it may be best to discourage lots of investment
in wikitext editing features as it will at some point go the background
where a whole dedicated interface for just part of it is overkill and will
only
be used by a minority.
