> The wiki lacks category ...
Just FYI: we recently improved the internals to be able to add propagating tags to wiki pages[1], so it will eventually be possible to use those to categorize/group your wiki pages. What's missing now is UIs which can make use of that feature. The CLI tag command can make use of them, but that doesn't help your UI much.
> ... and transclusion features
For the wiki it seems unlikely to me that transclusion will ever be a thing. It can hypothetically be done with the embedded docs feature if the fossil binary is built with "th1-docs" support, but, alas, we can't currently support propagating tags on file-level content. (i have an idea how it might be integrated, but figuring out whether or not it internally makes sense requires trying it out (and that doesn't have a high priority).)

- networked 5y agoThis is excellent news! I hope Fossil can eventually obsolete both my tag script and the JavaScript TOC. As for transclusions, I don't expect Fossil to implement them. While something like https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/IncludeOtherPages https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/IncludeOtherPages would be cool, it seems probably out of scope for Fossil.
