I absolutely hate the new category system. The WantedCategories page does not update in real time (my last cache is 6.49 this morning). Having categories appear in red on a page allows me to see immediately which ones I need to create and is a much simpler way to clean up existing pages which need their categories sorted.

I appreciate that categories "exist" the moment you tag a page, but I'm sorry to say that this system does not take into account the fact that many category pages need to be added to "main" categories on a Wiki project. Having new ones buried amongst existing ones does not allow a quick overview of what is new and needs categorising as they are very easy to miss, especially when you have many categories to a page. A nice clear red link is the surest way of identifying those categories that need editing/categorising. This new system is very clunky and tiresome.
