Categories that have failed RFDO

Categories that have failed RFDO

I haven't tracked down the discussion, but both Category:Lojban nouns and Category:Lojban proper nouns were deleted as having failed RFDO. Aside from the merits of this individual case, I think we need to come up with a way of preventing Mewbot from creating categories that are validly formed, but shouldn't exist (to use an absurd example: Category:Chinese class 1 strong verbs). Maybe an exception list?

If MewBot doesn't create them, it doesn't stop someone else from doing so anyway. So the list would probably need to be built into the category tree modules somehow, so that the module can automatically tag or trigger an error when they get created.

The obvious, simple, low-tech solution is to make a page that links to all of the categories that have failed RFD, a bit like WT:RFVA, and periodically check for blue links.

That works too. But harder to maintain.
