MediaWiki:categoriespagetext should offer links to Special:UnusedCategories, and possibly Special:WantedCategories
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since MediaWiki:categoriespagetext has been set to read:

"The following categories contain pages or media."

, and empty categories are not listed on the page, I suggest,
to add a link to [[Special:UnusedCategories]] so as to make
users aware that empty categories may exist, and are listed
separately.

Less importantly, I'd also suggest [[Special:WantedCategories]]
to be mentioned. Result:

"This special page lists used categories, both created and not.

 * Used but missing categories are separately listed at
    [[{{NS:Special}}:{{int:WantedCategories}}]]
 * Empty, i.e. unused but created, categories are listed at
    [[{{NS:Special}}:{{int:UnusedCategories}}]] only.

 The following categories contain pages or media:"

Fixed in r39509.

The fixed message is not completely correct. Wanted categories are listed in Special:Categories.
