Prior to 1.4Beta3 on the English version of Wikipedia, if someone created an article Foo that had a category e.g [[Category:Foobar]] and Foobar did not exist, then if you went to create the Foobar page, the article Foo would appear along with the edit window to create the category. This allowed the editor to backtrack and fix an article if Foo should really go to [[Category:Foo Bar]]. Now if you get a report of non-existent categories with articles that link to them, they are impossible for a user to track down. The What Links Here does not work as well for this instance. For example. Go to Robert E. Lee from above see the category:People from Virginia... If you go directly to People from Virginia, it is impossible to know that Robert E. Lee is the one linking to it.
Changed summary to explain what the problem is.
Fixed in cvs. Thanks for the report.
