Ah! I knew there had to be something simple I was overlooking. Thanks! I
like categories myself, but this will be an excellent tool to suggest to
people who despise them for whatever reason. :)

It's either a brilliant microcosm of the sad state of Wikipedia and Wikipedians, or I'm being silly.  We report: you decide!)

My own pet peeve along these lines is articles with no categories other
than various subject-specific stub categories added by subject-specific
stub tags. Why go to the trouble of sorting and specifying the type of
stub it is and not add the actual categories at the same time? Seems
like such a trivial extra step, we could even have a bot doing the work.
