The main problem for categories is the fact of they are mainly in English...
Many people who don't speak English don't put any categories because they
don't
know which categories are needed...

... we already see is that what is currently in place doesnt work and that the
notifications are putting people off further contributions.
If it starts to create categories, then thats useful because it shows that what
we use isnt what others are looking for.... we need to recognise that then
address it ...

If the category field is a text field then that will likely lead to
categories being created that do not link to the index.
Instead a drop
down menu or search feature should be used. Also an option to attempt
to apply the categories used in a Wikipedia page would be very useful.
