CES VaultWiki Special Categories

CES VaultWiki Special Categories (product ID: ces_spec_cat) was a premium add-on plugin for VaultWiki 2.x from August 8, 2008, until November 23, 2009. It was included in the VaultWiki Premium tier subscription or could be purchased separately for $9.99. It was discontinued on November 23, 2009, in preparation for the release of VaultWiki 3.x, when the plugin's features were incorporated into the main product.[1]

CES VaultWiki Special Categories was the successor to the plugin CES NuWiki Special:Categories, which was written for VaultWiki's predecessor NuWiki.

The plugin added a new Category namespace to VaultWiki, as well as the [category]...[/category] BB-Code, which was used to add a wiki page into a category within that namespace that matched the name specified by the BB-Code. It also included a number of Special pages related to categories.

Since bug tracking and release announcements tended to be combined with those of the main product, information about the plugin's development over time is sparse. Due to the studio's web site backup policies prior to 2014, it is believed that no copies of this plugin survive to this day.

This plugin had multiple versions, with its last release 2.0.3 on October 30, 2009.
