Description Daniel P. 2012-09-07 13:13:20 UTC
A good and useful feature for UploadWizard would be an improvement to the actual category helper. For example if I type "Buildings in Brasov" (without any diacritic) it should suggest me "Buildings in Braşov" (s with cedilla). Also, if a category is a redirect to another one (with {{category redirect}} template), it should automatically change the category to the target one (like HotCat does).
Comment 1 Daniel P. 2012-09-07 14:31:32 UTC
Also, it shouldn't be case-sensitive when suggesting categories.
Comment 2 Mark Holmquist 2012-09-07 15:24:53 UTC
*** Bug 28740 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Mark Holmquist 2012-09-07 15:25:54 UTC
The case-sensitive part is fixed already (see bug marked duplicate), but the rest of it might not be a bad idea.
Comment 4 Rainer Rillke @commons.wikimedia 2012-11-03 14:32:25 UTC
Also, it should allow listing sub-categories and super-categories like HotCat does and if the category in question contains a description, a tooltip with the description should be shown possibly along with one sample category member. Then, categorizing would start making fun.
Comment 5 Rainer Rillke @commons.wikimedia 2012-11-03 14:34:40 UTC
...of course this would be easier if there would be a field for category-descriptions in the database; (lang->description_text)...
Comment 6 billinghurst 2013-05-15 13:28:46 UTC
If the case sensitive bug was fixed, then there is an issue.  I get case sensitive category lookup when using the form today.

Adding category "achilles bocchius" does not find "Achilles *B*occhius"
