Category talk:Oscillators with rotor Filament

Thoughts on this pending deletion? I agree that it's kind of silly to have a category that will only ever have one page. On the other hand though, these categories are automatically added to pages via the Oscillator's templates "Rotor" tag. We would like to keep "rotor = Filament" on the light bulb page, which puts it in this category. We could of course alter the template to handle this special case (i.e., not add that category if the "rotor" is set to "Filament", but that seems inelegant. Thoughts?

I agree this category can be kept. Another such category is Oscillators with rotor Toad.
In another case, the page Glider was previously put into a category "Patterns that can be constructed with 1 gliders" due to "|synthesis=1" specified in the infobox. I commented out that part, and the category was since deleted. However that case may be different, because the value "|synthesis=1" in the Glider page did not make much sense (a glider synthesis involves collisions, but a single glider in otherwise empty universe could not collide with anything), while the value "|rotor = Filament" in the Lightbulb page makes sense.
