Category mangling

To prevent userspace drafts/sandboxes from appearing in main space categories, I recommend a practice I picked up in Wikipedia Draft: space.

Placing a colon at the begining of a category link prevents the page from being in the category, but instead makes a link to the category's page.

With the colon in place, a red link would show any problem with the link; for example:

M I K A D O 282 ⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙ ⊙⊙ ⊙⊙ (Contact Mikado282 (SM)) | (contribs) (Help Wanted!) 18:59, 28 May 2023 (UTC) 19:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
