BrownHairedGirl, thanks for clarifying where you came to this page from. Looking at Special:WantedCategories, I see at least one other example of a perpetually redlinked category, Category:Wikipedians with red-linked categories on their user talk page. If that category is okay, I would think that this one would be as well, since it certainly has more value to the project (helping new editors learn how categories work, as opposed to just being a joke). Special:WantedCategories is a pretty niche page, so I'd hope that anyone there would be able to see pretty easily that Category:Example category isn't actually a category that needs to be created. It doesn't seem worth it to refrain from something beneficial just because a metric tool isn't capable of fully handling it (I'm assuming there's no way to manually unlist pages from Special:WantedCategories). Alternatively, we could actually create it, but then it'd be basically a list of all the users who have gone through the tutorial, which might come across as weird to some. Or if people keep accidentally creating it, we could request it be fully salted. But I don't see any way to easily demonstrate what a live category looks like in wikitext and on a page without actually using a category. WP:REDNOT and WP:USERNOCAT have very little relevance to this highly atypical situation; going by them would be very WP:BURO. {{u|Sdkb}}talk06:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
