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.
