Description

On a Tiki23, I can activate the "Revision approval" feature for Wiki Pages at tiki-admin.php?page=wiki#contentadmin_wiki-3
Admin => Wiki page => Flagged Revision => Revision approval

This function then requires the user to select the categories that will be governed by this feature using the field "Revision approval categories".

This is workable if you have a few categories (like 10 or 20). However, if you have many categories and subcategories, it becomes very complicated and hard to understand how to manage them.

To add to the confusion, there is an "invisible" limit on the number of categories that will be displayed. By default, you will see only 50 category results because of the setting:
Look&Feel => Navigation => Limits => Maximum number of records in listings: 50

It is very hard to understand why you don't see all the categories if you are not a super power user.

Solution
  1. Display a limit
    • There should be no limit in the number of categories displayed in the select field.
      If there is a potential issue with an unlimited number of categories to be displayed (performance) there should be a way to deactivate the limit from the page. To let the admin user see all the categories.
  2. It should be possible to select/unselect all the categories
