I can configure pmwiki.org so that category pages aren't automatically
created. Or I could do that for categories in specific groups/pages
(e.g., Test.* and Main.WikiSandbox).

Or we could come up with a {$Backlinks} page variable that returns
the list of backlinks to a (category) page, and if that page
variable is empty we know it's an empty category.
[[#emptycategory]]
(:if equal {{=$FullName}$Backlinks} "" :)
* {=$FullName}
[[#emptycategoryend]]
I think it's probably better to simply disable automatic category
page generation on pmwiki.org.
