Comment (by desrosj):

 I am not sure that I like the idea of copying an existing code block (that
 checks if the current user has the capability to manage categories or
 tags) into two different locations.

 I think moving the Categories and Tags converter to the action hook would
 be a better approach. Using this approach would only require the original
 code proposed in [attachment:42486.diff]. It would also allow that card to
 be unhooked from the tools page, if desired.
