Hi, Currently, when linking to a category that "does not exist", a redlink is shown. However, the definition of "does not exist" is "has no text describing the category". However, the category actually functions perfectly well. Since many categories are self-explanatory (especially for small wikis), I suspect this redlinking acts as an unnecessary brake on the use of categories. That is, people are discouraged from pre-emptively linking to a category that doesn't "exist" yet. Redlinks in the category bar look like mistakes, they don't look like you've actually done something that is highly encouraged.
Would it be possible to change the definition of "does not exist" to be "has no text, and no articles"? Or maybe something else entirely?
Even worse in my opintion is that you _have_ to fill some text into the category page, or otherwise links to it wont work. Usually the text thus reads along the lines "All foo articles:" for Category:Foo.
