I know how you feel, I like automating stuff like that too.

I'm looking into one way of doing it, with DPL, but I have't quite gotten it working.

How it's supposed to work is like this:

It's supposed to match the pagename, including the current page in the results, and add the date the category was first added to that page. I have this working for cleanup templates, I'm not quite sure why I can't get it working for delete templates.

edit: It does work, but my test page has a apostrophe in the title, so I can't get it working on that page.

There is one other thing which you could do instead, which would be to use DPL to make a list of all pages for deletion, including the date the category was added in that list - it should be easier than trying to get the date to show on the page. Plus it means the DPL only runs on one page.

This is one way to do that:
