Description Richard Morris 2013-07-11 02:19:23 UTC

Finding the categories under page setting is non intuitive. Adding another icon next to references would help usability.

This is discussed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Icons_are_incomprehensible

So hard to find that I assumed it wasn't implemented yet. Now I've seen it.

Why another icon on the top and not direct manipulation at the bottom? Show the categories at the bottom of the page and allow adding / editing / deleting from there. More or less the way HotCat got us used, if possible with a cleaner UI.

Comment 4 James Forrester 2013-11-25 13:39:34 UTC

We now split this out into the page settings menu, so closing as INVALID given the evolution of the interface.
