• Sara, you said "does category:remove work" on eCollege. Well if you consider human actions, it works! I use the category:remove to give people the opportunity to save the entry from removal, but once in a while I go into the dead-end pages, orphaned pages, double redirects and also category:remove and I try to clean everything up a bit. if you've come across a better / automated system or you would like to just remove it immediately, do let me know and I'll do the same. --NikkiCortoos 17:04, 6 August 2009 (CEST)
• Hello Sara, I don't know how the discussion normally works, but I used strike-through for the previous message =) and thank you for the good example to paste much used links on the discussion page, you can see that I've copied your example. Our very own Community of Practice! Wenger would be proud! --NikkiCortoos 10:15, 13 August 2009 (CEST)
