→Please don't create duplicate categories: typo
:OK. Thanks for the heads up. I am just blowing through [[Special:WantedCategories]] as efficiently of my time as I can. I will try to check for dup's but it can be time-consuming.--[[User:Amorrow|Amorrow]] ([[User talk:Amorrow|talk]]) 16:51, 20 January 2021 (EST)

::Unfortunately, that's mostly why they haven't been created...it requires checking for duplicates. the "Wanted Categories" list is just generated based on category names which have been referenced, but not created. Sometimes that is just due to typos or nomenclature. Other times, someone is in a hurry and doesn't check categories before adding them to their page. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 16:58, 20 January 2021 (EST)

:::For example, the [[:Category:List of Birds]] tag on [[List of birds of Telangana]] should probably just be replaced with [[:Category:Birds]]. In general, a category of one page is not helpful, so when I see that, I'll ggenerally just change the category tag. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 17:01, 20 January 2021 (EST)
