The markup [[!SomeCategory]] is a
tag<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata)>,
it categorises a page. It is a definition or declaration.
The  markup [[Category/SomeCategory] is a reference to page (that lists
pages on which a particular tag occurs)

When listing pages that are tagged (using the [[!]] markup) it is wrong to
include in the list of tagged pages the additional pages that reference the
category or list.
