Description Borgx 2006-07-20 00:53:10 UTC

People sometimes create and use the wrong categories. I propose MW to provide
mechanism (these are alternatives): 
+ to inform users that they should use category:A instead of category:B, or
+ to automatically put pages using category:A to be categorized under category:B
if we redirects (or some sort) category:A to category:B, or
+ to provide some special page that list all of "pages need to be
recategorized", for example: will show all pages under category:A if we mark
that category:A redirects to category:B. In this way users will be aware, and
manually change all pages from category:A to category:B.
