Can I be an advocate FOR the removal of WikiActivity?

Because it shows which categories are added and our template adds a category "Deceased" as soon as the Death field is filled out, many people were spoiled by one glance. After complaints, we had to build in a function into the template that wouldn't add the category until a month after the edit to the Death field... which led to clueless people manually adding the Deceased category... which led to making an AbuseFilter on adding that category. All that work for a feature none of the admins were using for quick at a glance moderation.

That type of moderation has tools built into the new RC, with filters for users based on edit counts, image uploads, it's all much easier.
