When creating a category page that does not exist, a preview is always generated, as can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Some%_nonexistent_category?action=edit This preview is completely useless, because the page does not exist. This happens with or without "Preview on first edit" enabled in preferences. When creating pages in other namespaces, a preview is never generated on the first edit, even with "Preview on first edit" enabled in preferences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_nonexistent_page?action=edit Creating category pages should work the same as it does in other namespaces.
meh, first URL should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Some_nonexistent_category?action=edit
It's not useless, as it includes the pages in the category so that category links show useful information.

Don't see how that's related, that's about not giving red links the "edit" action by default in the category namespace, this is about not warning the user they haven't saved their changes yet when they haven't made any.
