These lists are based off of the 7/13/09 database dump. Database dumps are now coming out nearly weekly. If anyone wants to take a crack at this list, please let me know and I will update it from the current dump.

  • The pages listed here are the only page in a non-existent category.
  • This list is updated via templates when pages are fixed. In most cases you will not need to edit this list directly.
  • To update a portion of this list, purge the page.
  • If a fixed page is still showing up after purging, check the listed category for a new broken page.
  • This list had to be split into multiple pages of 500 pages each due to Wikipedia:Template limits
  • The list of most wanted categories can be found at Special:WantedCategories
  • Similarly named categories are determined by Levenshtein distance
  • These are typically simple errors, such as:
Incorrect Correct
Category:German nobles Category:German nobility
Category:Minnesotans Category:People from Minnesota
Category:Jewelery Category:Jewellery
  • Examples for use of similarly named categories:

Category:1976 Virginia Slims WTA Tour Category:West Virginia state courts Ignore as not relevant

Comments in categories edit

These were originally in the above report, but I filtered them out as they obviously don't belong there. These pages are being correctly categorized, as Wikipedia simply ignores the comments. Please do not "fix" these by simply deleting the comments or moving them outside of the category tag. For most of these, until the validity of the data can be confirmed they should probably stay as is. This section does not automatically update, so if you fix some of these please remove them from this page. Thanks!
