Why MediaWiki is so bad

One of the things I hate about MediaWiki is that you have to use those [[Category:name]] (name is a placeholder of the category's name) links at the bottom of the page. In Drupal, you can enable tagging (makes an AJAX field for tagging; searches for existing tags), multi-select or select from a drop-down list. This could be complicated if you have to categorize/tag the article a lot of things. You couldn't simply copy-paste a comma-separated list into a MediaWiki article, but have to put those category links at the bottom of the article. This can be confusing because MediaWiki also uses the square brackets ([[ and ]]) for both internal links and "inter-wiki" links too. Also, there is no tag cloud extension available for MediaWiki.

Wikipedia breaks policy rules

Wikipedia has long been discussed about their No Original Research (NOR) policy being a violation of their own Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) policy. Recently, a user complained about the "excluding tiny minorities" rule. Personally, I disagree with this complaint because:

  1. Nobody cares about something small like that
  2. The fact that something is excluded now does not mean that it will be excluded forever (from Blueboar)
  3. Some of these "tiny minority" ideas are not true
