Category mangling
To prevent userspace drafts/sandboxes from appearing in main space categories, I recommend a practice I picked up in Wikipedia Draft: space.
Placing a colon at the begining of a category link prevents the page from being in the category, but instead makes a link to the category's page.
With the colon in place, a red link would show any problem with the link; for example:
- [[:Category:Wiki cap owners]] appears as Category:Wiki cap owners allowing the user to preview the error.
- [[:Category:Wiki Cap owners]] appears as Category:Wiki Cap owners

- I saw you made the change. I just noted that the same technique is recomended on Policy. I suppose you will update that part when you commit.

User categories
To organize or keep track of your user pages and sandboxes, you may create a user category that may only be used in your user space:
- Prefix the category User and your Wiki username, followed by a meaningful suffix.
- Your user name may be made posessive.
- Example: Category:User Pilk's sandbox
- Creating the category page, you must add it to the Category:User categories or another one of of your own user category.
- User categories may be added to no other category save those mentioned.
- Categories that don't follow this naming scheme may be deleted without warning.
- Otherwise, user categories should comply with the general rules for categories.
- Obnoxious categories may be deleted by GrampaSwood.
There might not be any great contribution to the wiki, here, but it could be a means for new editors to practice with categories.
