            Bug ID: 47441
           Summary: App suggests categories that do not exist, adds them
           Product: Commons App
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Android
          Assignee: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

I was browsing some of my Android uploads, and I found that some had been
categorized via the app with categories that do not exist.

For instance, this one:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boyd_House,_University_of_Oklahoma,_2013-04_-_2.jpeg

I selected two categories, one of which was [[Category:Registered Historic
Places in Oklahoma]]. That category existed once, but was deleted years ago and
replaced by [[Category:National Registered of Historic Places in Oklahoma]].
When I checked today, there were no other photos in that deleted category
except two from me.

Another instance with different context:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Big_Event_2013_at_University_of_Oklahoma.jpeg

This is in [[Category:Volunteerism in the United States]] via the app. As far
as I can see, that category never existed. However, there is one other file in
the category:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BayouStJohnBobcatNoParkingCleanup.jpg

Until category creation is supported, we probably don't want the app using
either non-existent categories that have other photos or deleted categories.
