User blog comment:DaNASCAT/Technical Update: August 16, 2011/@comment-876022-20110816234207

I'm still trying to find out why this change has and is continued to be kept... Any page that does not exist, category namespace or not, should be only understood as existing unless using Special:WantedCategories? I will never understand why the most smallest detail must be consistent across all wikis.

What is making the developers think that all these new global changes must not be changeable for a whole audience on any particular wiki? These changes make it harder for red link abuse filters to hit correctly, thus limiting effectiveness of AbuseFilter and our own editing abilities. I cba to check every new category added when they should be red by default. This also falls under the ability to counter act vandalism and may go unnoticed for 24 hours or more since WantedCategories doesn't update often enough.

That's like saying no wiki should have a background image or change any MediaWiki messages if this trend continues.

On that same note, our red link can't make heads or tails of  as I believe is related to this issue, making it very inaccurate. Especially when there is no new class on some of the non-existent inter-wiki links. 23:42, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
