I use this with EE 1.x and it is great. I wanted to download it for EE 2.+ but the Download link takes me a to a page not found on Github. (not sure where to post broken link/misinformation about devotee details, pls delete if not appropriate here!)

Very useful, part of our default install. +1 for a conversion to EE2

Incredibly helpful as a gentle reminder to clients to add categories. I miss it greatly in EE 2.

This is the perfect extension for clients that sometimes forget to categorise an entry and then wonder why it isn’t appearing on the front end.
