[[Special:UnusedCategories]] is flooded by tons of redirected categories. But purpose of this special page was to show real unused categories, not all unused ”aliases” aka redirecting categories. It's necessary to define a special magic word which should be placed in ”Template:Category redirect” and in mediawiki core add a exception/condition - if category page has this special word (via transclusion) - then to not show this page in [[Special:UnusedCategories]]. Such a thing it's really necessary, because some wikipedias have over 15,000 redirected categories (!) A similar technology is used for [[Special:DisambiguationPages]] where are listed all pages which contains the tag __DISAMBIG__
