Template talk:Fooian expatriate sportspeople in Bar cat

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 ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Bissau-Guinean expatriates in Uzbekistan 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 ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Fooian expatriates in Bar and instead show ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Fooian expatriates 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%.
