I decided not to do that because RFCs using only the template aren't
actually *in* the category page, but are only shown when you click
"What links here" in the left navigation on the category page (which
doesn't really exist for Serials yet, as you'll notice).

I hope there's some way to search for "Category:RFC link:Category:Serials"
and "Category:Serials -Category:RFC" but I've not found it yet in
MediaWiki.  Anyone know if it's possible?

I'm also a bit confused about why there's much different contents on
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Home
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Special:Categories

I intended the latter, but I wasn't sufficiently irritated by the
former to change it and thought maybe it's good to have it look
like it should do in Subject lines.  I accept some happy accidents.

It's quite fiddly to edit Templates because the preview doesn't
really give you a good insight into the output on actual pages.

Hope that explains,
