I see that you have still not taken up my suggestion: to read the WP Guidelines on hidden catgegories, a guideline that I did not write. So I will quote it for you: Wikipedia:Categorization
- "===Maintenance categories===
- Categories which refer not to the subject of an article but to the present status of an article (Articles needing cleanup, Articles containing unsourced statements etc.) are known as maintenance categories. These do not help users navigate the encyclopedia, but assist in Wikipedia maintenance projects. Articles are normally placed in these categories through the addition of certain templates, such as {{cleanup}} and {{fact}}.
- Since these categories do not aid navigation, they should not be displayed in the Categories section of article pages. This is ensured by adding the following template: {{hiddencat}} to the category page, which makes use of the magic word __HIDDENCAT__. (One exception to this are the maintenance categories dealing with uncategorized articles; these categories should not be hidden.) However, to allow would-be maintainers to find the relevant category, it is suggested that an inline link to the category be included in the template itself, using the [[:Category:XXX]] syntax. (Notice also that any user may elect to unhide hidden categories, using My Preferences.)
- Hidden categories may be found in Category:Hidden categories."
and there can be no question but that the two Hawaii categories in question are maintenance categories, as you yourself say. Hmains (talk) 22:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
However, since these categories are now just used on talk pages and not on the article pages (which is what I first noticed), then leaving these as non-hidden is harmless. Hmains (talk) 02:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
