Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

Looking at the Portuguese Wikipedia for deletion by consensus pages created by the Fastbuttons tool in 2024, I often notice that despite the pages having the appropriate categories, they do not appear when we click on the categories themselves. This indicates that many pages are not being analyzed, agreed upon, and/or voted on. I am unsure if this is a bug or a structural issue within Mediawiki that can only be resolved through a "null edit". Nonetheless, I am documenting the situation here, having encountered at least 15 cases in the last 2 months. I am providing 4 example links with the issue, although they will disappear or be resolved as soon as someone edits the pages. See: https://w.wiki/9QpH; https://w.wiki/9QpJ; https://w.wiki/9TY8 and https://w.wiki/9QpL.
