Additional note for renaming categories in the DataExplorer

By default Mediawiki doesn't allow the move operation on categories. When a category is renamed, this is a move operation internally. Therefore if you want to rename categories in the DataExplorer a Mediawiki file must be modified to achieve this. Therefor edit the file includes/Namespace.php in your wiki installation. Replace the line:

return !( $index < NS_MAIN || ($index == NS_FILE && !$wgAllowImageMoving)  ||
$index == NS_CATEGORY );

with:

 return !( $index < NS_MAIN || ($index == NS_FILE && !$wgAllowImageMoving) );

The location of this content is around line 50ff.

If you have installed the Rich Media extension the changes have been applied already and you don't need to do anything.
