There is Special:Categories that shows all of the categories but there is about 5-8% of thise categories dont exist they are red linked categories that are populated but the page for them does not exist. could you add a Special page that identifies these as there are many categories that need taken care of Either emptied or have the page created, and manualy looking 1,000 categories at a time is very laborious and repetitve. and needs to be re looked though a lot and there are +170,000 categories to look though.
The features you requested do already exist. See f.e.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Wantedcategories http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Unusedcategories
that is not what I am requesting In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Categories it lists every populated category. 5-8% of those populated categories do not exist (they are redlinked). Is there a away that you could extract those from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Categories
You *mean* that you want to hide categories from Special:Categories where the corresponding category page does *not* exist?
I want to Identify all categories that do *not* exist yet are populated see:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:2014_in_football_%28soccer%29 the category has pages in it yet the page for the cat was never created the category is redlinked yet has pages categorized in it.
Then you *do* want Special:Wantedcategories, from comment 1.
Kinda, as that shows some of the redlinked cats. that also shows some created cats. and it does not have them in any order.
Well, as the message at the top states, it's cached. Ordering might be something we can tweak, though.
