Is there a way to query for profiles that have more than one category?

For example, is there a way to view profiles (using Wikitree+ or otherwise) that are in the "Unsourced Profiles" category AND the "Scotland" category without having to rely on adding a new subcategory such as "Scotland, Unsourced Profiles"?

You can query WT+ for any two categories.

As described on help page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:WikiTree_Plus#Text_search_2 you can limit the search to category full name like

CategoryFull=Unsourced_Profiles

and add it again to query for another category.

CategoryFull=Estimated_Birth_Date

When the Unsourced template is used, it can be entered as {{Unsourced|Scotland}}

This might be what you are looking for.  It is different ways of finding Unsourced profiles for Scotland.  

Category:Scotland,_Unsourced_Profiles

1st Category: Scotland, Unsourced Profiles have {{Unsourced | Scotland}} in profiles

2nd Location: Scotland, Category:Unsourced Profiles have {{Unsourced |Stirlingshire}}  and other Scotland locations or they only have {{Unsourced}} with Scotland locations in Birth / Death

3rd Location: Scotland, Suggestion 802 & 803 have Suggestions 802 (Empty Profile) and 803 (Almost Empty Profile) and have Scotland locations on profile and no {{Unsourced}} template

4th Location: Scotland, Suggestion 131-134  have Suggestions 131-134 (No Dates) and have Scotland Locations on profile and no {{Unsourced}} template

Very helpful! But would this extend to any two categories, not just unsourced + location?
That is the category page. If you go to it, you will see that you can do a category search to review other categories.  Other category pages would have different information. The Unsourced categories with a location have that information.  These pages would be used during the Source A Thon that will be coming up.

The categories for Needs Profiles Created were used during the Connect A Thon. They have similar information, but different related suggestions on their pages.

Hope that helps.
