Vandal category

I recently created Category:Wikipedia vandals as an encyclopedic category, and it has been listed at CFD. Marcocapelle said that a category with that name could be useful for maintenance purposes, and I discovered that a category with that name was previously used as a maintenance category, but was deleted after a discussion in 2006. As Marcocapelle suggested, I am seeking input from editors who are specialized in chasing vandals about if this category could be repurposed for maintenance purposes. Thank you for reading this.

It would need to be a hidden category if it's going to stick around, otherwise it flies in the face of WP:DENY. Waggers TALK 11:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Waggers: Thank you for the response and suggestion. CJ-Moki (talk) 17:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
