:: There are many that suffer from that, and as that's an automatable task, it'd be better done automatically before the other two (non automatable) tasks, because those articles would get in the way and I would end up doing that work manually. E.g.: [[Requesting Technical Help]] belongs to [[:Category:Documentation]] and [[:Category:FlightGear]]. The second one is already into Documentation, so this one should be removed. It should be easy to open every article and cross check their categories. The hardest thing to do is probably preload and cache the category tree for faster lookup (if possible).
