HotCat is a gadget which can be used to remove and add categories quickly.

Instead of the user having to manually edit the page and add a category in the page's source code, the +/– buttons appear directly in the category section of the article. After clicking on them, a window will appear where the user can enter the name of the category; the widget will help him by offering existing categories, like search engine whispers (this partially reduces the risk of creating two categories with the same content). Instead of saving the page version, the user clicks "OK" and the gadget automatically edits, making the process faster. Categories can be added or changed individually or in bulk. When adding categories in bulk, it still requires confirmation of editing with the editing window.

How to use it

  • (-): remove the category
  • (±): change the category
  • (↓): show a list of subcategories
  • (↑): show a list of super categories
  • (+): Add a category
  • (+ + ): make multiple changes
