All Wikipedia articles, images, templates, portals, and even categories should be included in a category.
I therefore propose that we modify the software to not permit the saving of pages (other than redirects) in these namespaces unless a link to a legitimate existing category is included.

Perhaps a search/menu function could be added to allow editors to pick the most appropriate category with one click.
Supplemental to this, I propose the creation of a feature which allows users to watchlist category contents, and to be alerted when the content of a category changes.
