[chrisaldrich] Post Kinds plugin has some great support for custom creating posts of particular kinds with URL parameters like example.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?kind=reply, I've searched around and may be missing it, but does WordPress core allow setting categories or tags with URL parameters like this?
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: Yes and no.
#
GWG Look under query variables

#
[chrisaldrich] that makes it sound like the pieces are there, but I'm going to have to write the custom code to make it so?
#
GWG Possibly
#
GWG Outline your intentions and I'll see what I can advise
#
GWG The category and tag queries use ids, not slugs
#
[chrisaldrich] I think I tried them both (ids and slugs as well as combinations of categories/tags) with no luck... let me double check
