Neil Harris wrote in part:
- category page bodies should also be able to contain category links
themselves, allowing a directed graph of categories to be created.
This is one of the most important features of Erik's idea that IMO sets it above the others.
Another is the possibility of category #REDIRECT pages.
- moving category pages does not really make sense in this simple scheme
as the names are "hardwired" in the [[Category:XYZ]] links in the back-linking articles
But this would work perfectly well with #REDIRECT pages -- we shouldn't have to alter the code for moving pages one bit.
If we do this right, we can probably _eventually_ get rid of most of the list articles entirely: ''but'' there is one fly in the ointment with doing things this way: we lose the ability to create links in category lists to non-existing articles. This would be a great pity, as it is one of the most useful ways to create lists of new candidates for articles within a topic.
We can always revive the [[Wikipedia:xxx basic topics]] pages, which have been replaced (and greatly expanded upon) by the bastard category pages.
