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)
