Feature Request: API for creating a directory of tags

[sharonn]

I tried messing about with the wiki.directory and wiki.search to generate a list/directory of tags but couldn't make that happen.

Please consider adding an API to do that. My motivation: So that I could provide a alphabetized topical start page for browsing the wiki content.
This will complete, nicely, with the other content browsing capabilities (searching, site map, etc.).

I'm asking for something similar to wikimedia's special:Categories page...
wait! you have a special:categories page (:confused:) but it's not working.
A special page would do nicely too. And please make an untagged API (or special page) too.

Special:Categories is a vestige from our mediawiki past. :)

Thanks for the suggestion, I filed a bug on it:

So my feature request boils down too:
1. Rename special:categories to special:tags (this is actually a bug fix, isn't it?).
2. Make it work.
3. Make the page multi-column (see this feature request here: http://forums.opengarden.org/showthread.php?t=1874)

This can now be done using templates with dekiscript. See the FAQ page about TagDirectory (http://developer.mindtouch.com/index.php?title=DekiScript/FAQ/How_do_I..._Createa_a_tag_directory_for_sub-pages%3F).
