This script can be used on either Special:UnusedCategories or Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories. It gives options to either tag the categories with {{Possibly empty category}} or for deletion under WP:C1. Pages already tagged for deletion should be highlighted in pink - all highlighted pages are taken from User:Anomie/linkclassifier.
