A Turkish user (fedai) asked if it is possible to add multiple categories for a page, as a core feature.

i think that's a good idea. Although there is page duplicator plugin, i think.

No, I asked for the idea. Should it be in the core, and also this plugin Trustmaster coded is weak for our enhanced purposes (if to do so)

Well the problem you face is when you're using categories in the URL and have pages belonging to multiple categories. It cant work since you have duplicates.

Also you cant be runnig any alias "movers" (checking if alias is in the correct category then move it if it isnt).

It's a good idea though, but needs to be refined a lot.

So, for multiple category support, I think we should still stick with presence of main category for a page. Optionally you would add it to other categories, but this would only work for listings and so on, but the permissions and other system information is taken from the main category only to save resources.
May the Source be with you!
