You may be aware of this tool already but for the future I wanted to point it out in case you didn't know :)

The Special:WhatLinksHere page is really awesome for tracking down categories or pagesthat are linked in the Templates that we're doing. So if we were to rename a page and wanted to go find everything that links there, we could use it really well.

The data for the main pages and stuff is somewhat cached, so it might have a delay after you remove the links before it tells you that the link is removed. However, the template update seems to be immediate.

For example I just searched Name = Category: Single Color Dragons and Namespace = Template. This showed me three Templates where the link was being used, and when I removed them, the WhatLinksHere immediately updates for those templates (not showing the links anymore). But when I search "all" namespaces, a bunch of the Main page links that were using the templates are still cached there even though there are no more links (because the links were added via Template). Just something to be aware of :)
