Summary: Nonexistent category pages show useless preview on first
edit
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Some%
20nonexistent%20category&action=edit
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Categories
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When creating a category page that does not exist, a preview is always
generated, as can be seen here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Some%_nonexistent_category?action=edit
This preview is completely useless, because the page does not exist. This
happens with or without "Preview on first edit" enabled in preferences.
When creating pages in other namespaces, a preview is never generated on the
first edit, even with "Preview on first edit" enabled in preferences.

Creating category pages should work the same as it does in other namespaces.
