I agree with Tama63. The redlink is universal for article/template/image/category not existing. The redlink conveys instant information. One need only press the word Categories at the bottom of any screen and one is transported instantly to Special:Categories where all non-existent categories are clearly displayed. If Wikia wants to deviate from the heretofore consistent redlink protocol, at least pick a color different from the color used for categories that do exist. (Just do not use color #5a3696. It is the universal visited-link color). Thanks!
