Perhaps the usefulness of portals and categories can be combined. For example, but unrealistic in the short term, clicking to a standard category link should open the portal page of the same name if it exists.
You could just put {{Portal:{{PAGENAME}} }} at the top of the category page, although I appreciate how difficult it is to change the relevant policy.
I came to the conclusion many years ago that the easiest way to make a policy change on Wikipedia is to spend 6 months writing and deploying software that requires or implements the change. It's a lot easier to get a majority in a software deployment vote than it is to build consensus behind an editorial policy.
Not really. Two sofwareside attempts on Finnish Wikipedia crashed and burned, despite me trying to nurse them along.
