Copying a topic to another category
-
There doesn't seem to be a way/plugin to copy a topic to another category. There is a way to move a topic if it's miscategorized, but it would also be useful to clone a topic if it fits multiple categories.
@bbb cloning topics is messy business. Do the replies get copied? Do later replies get copied? I suggest using tags if you have a lot of overlapping categories.

That's a policy decision. I can see at least two practical solutions:
-
Copy only the original post, and let the topic have a life of its own.
-
Copy only a reference to the topic, so it's in effect a different view of the same topic, and replies to any views show up in all views.
Tags don't quite address the problem.
