I like this idea, except the category page should be created on the
first visit, not by the mere act of creating a  link.

At minimum there should be some kind of limit to the number of new
blank pages that can be created by saving a page with links to
non-existent category pages.  Otherwise pasting in 200 category links
creates 200 pages...

Requiring an author to click the link doesn't seem like too much to
ask, especially in an open-wiki environment.  Save the page => See the
' ? ' => Click... Done.

Remember too, some people are [[!mispellers]].  :-)
