Or reverse it, and have "CategoryReviewed" for pages that have been 
reviewed. You'd still have the problem of someone sneaking an rm -rf 
into a CategoryReviewed page, or marking it as CategoryReviewed without 
permission. But that probably wouldn't happen nearly as often as the 
problem with CategoryReview: as soon as it was introduced, there would 
suddenly be hundreds of pages on the wiki that should be marked 
CategoryReview and wouldn't be, and forgetful people would be adding to 
that problem all the time.
