The HotCat gadget was originally developed for use on Wikimedia Commons but soon gained popularity on other Wikimedia Wikis including the English Wikipedia, this is where I first heard about this neat little gadget and have since enabled it for use on my own personal account on Wikipedia and installed a customized version of the script on my Wiki.If you aren't already aware of what HotCat is or what it does, it's basically a tool designed to make adding categories to Wiki pages easier and quicker written in JavaScript (Originally by User:Magnus Manske).
There are 2(?) versions of HotCat currently available, the version currently used on Wikimedia Commons (Be warned, this page contains a lot of code) and the version I use on my Wiki, the version currently in use on the English Wikipedia.
Whichever version of HotCat you decide to install on your own Wiki, the installation method remains the same and just as dead-simple. Either click here and download the full script in .txt format or copy all the code directly from this page and paste it to the MediaWiki page: MediaWiki:Common.js, this will install HotCat for all users of your Wiki. Done!
