Finding Categories in the metadata?

[Russell D. Jones]

I was wandering around looking for things to clean-up.  I had been writing some definitions.  And I found the http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Category:History_need_def Category:History need def.  What I found there was that pages that did have definitions were still showing up.  I tried hunting down where the [[Category]] tag was on the offending pages; but there aren't any such tags.  So, I figure, these tags must be generated somewhere in the metadata templates. 

So, how do I fix this?  The fix needs to be simple enough that anyone could do it because, obviously, we don't want our technical people running down user generated coding errors.

Where do I find where these categories are being generated?

Russel, the Need Def page will not update for an article with a new definition until the corresponding Talk page has been edited and saved.  You might have noticed that I have lots of "blank line for Need Def" updates on every page to which I add a new definition.

So, update the Talk page with a blank line or even just a space, save the edit.  Then refresh the Need Def page and you should see
the article name now removed from the list.

This is obviously a design flaw.  Some of the talk pages haven't been updated for months.  Why were the coding designers relying on such a mechanism?  It also makes the wiki that much less user-run to bury the tags in the templates. 

So what you're suggesting is that I run through the 784 talk pages, edit each one, just to update the tags?
