Excellent, thanks for working on this! It would be wonderful to get the
wiki cleaned up, and any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

The page will remain in CategoryCleanup as long as the text
"CategoryCleanup" (without quotes) is present at the bottom of the page.
If you have added a new tag to the page, you can safely edit the page to
remove this text. Then, the page will appear in the list of pages with
the tag you gave it, but won't be in CategoryCleanup any more.

I've posted an announcement to the mailing list [1]. Please take a look
at it and see what you think.

Thanks,
