Description

Special:Categories shows unused categories as a result of the fix for this bug. However, now the system message MediaWiki:Categoriespagetext should be updated to indicate it does show unused categories.

Further, the special page shows red-linked (non-existent) categories with no members. There should hopefully be some means by which accidentally-created categories eventually fall off this list.
