1) Add a column in the Category table called ShowCat (ENUM - Yes/No).
2) Then hack the sub build_category_pages in the nph-build.cgi and also page.cgi to include conditional statements (if/else) based on the YES/NO value for the ShowCat column...could be added as a plugin.

Contact GT or an experienced Links SQL user but expect to pay.

The way I did it, was add a column in the Category table called 'Visible' as an ENUM('Yes','No') type, defaulting to Yes then added the following at the top of the subcategory.html template:
Then at the bottom put:
Then you just put No in the categories you don't want displayed.
It simply doesn't add a link to the category on any page that uses subcategory.html to generate a list of them. This modification still allows you to see the category once the site is built, if you know it's name, so it is not for everybody, but it works for our purposes.
Hope that helps,

This is going to be an excellent solution to my problem of assigning a default category to sites submitted that do not include a category which makes up the bulk of my database. This way Links is happy and I'm happy. I just love it when everyone's happy. Don't you agree?
I do have one question, though. I'm at the Category Properties screen in another browser window right now. What are the Form Information fields for? Can I just leave them and add the column without them?

Eliot,
I added the column and resync'd the database. I also found in nph-build.cgi where I placed my previous hack that went
(Build category code)
}#end unless $id91Can you tell me what the syntax is for use with the values in the new ShowCat column?
Thanks.
