I am working on a wiki that has documentation for our various processes.

I am trying to figure out how to add a "signoff" to each article.

When the article is being developed, it's tagged with a [[Category:fixme]] so that we can easily find all articles in development.

When an article reaches final form, someone - a manager, a technician, a designer - approves the article. That approver is typically not the article writer, and may not even have a user account on the wiki.

I want to be able to find all signed off articles and all articles signed off by a particular person.

I've thought about having a Category:signoff and then subcategories for each person who signs off, but I can't figure out how to automate this. It has to be automated since my pool of authors will grow to fairly non-technical people.

The pool of people who can sign off articles is open-ended; often we go out on the shop floor and find "Chuck" who has been there for 40 years and is the only person who knows this process, so "Chuck" signs off on the article.

I can create 2 categories; one "Signed_off" and one "Signed_off_by_Chuck" and that would work, but it just seems clunky.

Any ideas on how to make this work?
