Hello, Is there a way to **disable** or **delete** automatically generating **about page** whenever creating a new **category**? ---

You can unlist it. Click the wrench at the upper right. ---

For a site with hundreds of categories I wrote a script that did it to all of them at once. ---

참고로, 이 페이지가 왜 필요한가요? 이 주제에서 다른 두 사용자가 그랬듯이 페이지를 비공개로 설정할 수는 있지만, 사용되지 않고 있음에도 여전히 API에 표시됩니다. 그렇다면 삭제할 수 있도록 하는 것이 더 합리적이지 않을까요? ---
