Hi,
I recently upgrade Mediawiki 1.34 to 1.43 and facing issue related to category listing.
I am working with MediaWiki taxonomy structure where:
*
Category: Grandparents
*
Taxonomy: Grandparents
*
Main Topic (Parent Term): Parents
*
Subtopic (Child Term): Child
Hierarchy looks like this:
*
Grandparents(Category / Taxonomy)
*
Parents (Main Topic)
*
Child(Subtopic)
Now, I have an article that belongs to the Grandparents category, and I want to:
1.
Assign Taxonomy = Grandparents
2.
Assign Main Topic = Parents
3.
Assign Subtopic = Child
Problem:
Currently, when I select Grandparents, it is showing incorrect values (e.g., Porta/Community), and it does not dynamically load:
*
Grandparents-specific Main Topics
* Main Topic–specific Subtopics
Requirement:
I want a solution where:
*
Selecting Taxonomy (Grandparents) filters and loads only its related Main Topics
* Selecting a Main Topic further filters and loads only its related Subtopics
Request:
Please provide:
* The correct approach to implement this in MediaWiki
* Any required configuration (templates, forms, or extensions like Page Forms / Cargo / SMW)
*
Sample code or scripts to achieve dependent dropdowns (Taxonomy → Topic → Subtopic)
Thanks
Akshay Sawade
