Template talk:Fooian expatriate sportspeople in Bar cat

Avoiding red-linked categories
Per WP:REDNOT A page in any Wikipedia namespace should never be left in a red-linked category. Either the category should be created, or else the non-existent category link should be removed or changed to one that exists. At present this template is creating 141 such red links such as that are unlikely to ever contain many members. Personally I think it's blatant WP:OVERCATEGORISATION to distinguish expats by occupation but given that we are where we are, could this template be changed to #ifexist and instead show  if it doesn't exist? If nothing else it would reduce the load on the volunteers working on the backlog at WP:Database reports/Categories categorized in red-linked categories by nearly 20%.
