Cfr. parent task.
Given the unresolved issues with wrong categories and the ammount of job it gives to administrators at some wikis, please create and deploy a kill switch for Babel AutoCreate, and set it to true, disabling the bot for all Wikimedia projects for now.
The only solution for now is to block the bot on individual projects. At this time, the bot is indef. blocked on 26 individual projects.
Thanks.

| Resolved | Pppery | T184941 Babel AutoCreate creating empty categories (already on page preview) | |||
| Declined | None | T209719 Create and deploy a kill switch for Babel AutoCreate |
Proposing to close as declined given that the parent task has a fix pending review, and this should no longer be necessary once it (and T33074) are fixed.
Postscript: The "create" part was done in T333778: Create a configuration option to allow enabling/disabling bot category creation
