I created a Enterprise wiki site in SharePoint 2010.
The Wiki Categories field is greyed out or disabled. What is going on?
thx
SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Sign up to join this communityI have the same issue. I followed Ashish's directions but the Managed Metadata service was already checked.
Going to my site's settings, editing the Wiki Categories column, under 'Term Set Settings' the options are greyed out and under 'Use Managed Term Set' is says 'The required feature is not enabled for this column type'.
After some Googling it turns out I needed to enable the Taxonomy feature on the Site Collection (using Powershell), which is not enabled by default. Here's how:
This means your Web Application is not taking services of "Managed Metadata Services" service application.
Go to Central Admin -> Manage Web Application --> Select your Web app --> Select Service Connections and make sure you have Managed Metadata service available and Checked. If it is not available you need to configure a proxy so that that service can be made available to the web applications.
This forum had another answer: How do I add categories to Wiki pages?
basically check to see if column [wiki categories] has a term set tied to it.
