Taxonomy_multi_edit
Purpose


Edit the taxonomy designations of multiple nodes at once, without
having to select each node individually. Simplifies changing a large
number of nodes from one taxonomy classification.
UI


In admin/categories, a tab is added to "assign categories." Every node
with at least one taxonomy designation is displayed in a table, with
the first column being and the remaining columns being the available
categories.
Pros


   1. Easy to move a large number of nodes from one category to another
   2. Allows admin to see the taxonomies of many nodes at once


Cons


   1. Does not use pager, so it may be hard to use for very large
sites. Similarly, one cannot narrow down the content to a more
manageable size.
   2. Screen gets wide for sites with many taxonomies.
   3. Nodes with no taxonomy terms do not show up in the listing.


Conclusion


The basic functionality is useful, but the UI needs work. The UI should
be moved to the 'admin/content' area and build off of the filtering
system there. Additionally, there should be a way for users to limit
the number of taxonomies to a manageable size. The pager should be
used.
