If I understand correctly, the main objective is to cut it into digestible pieces. Wouldn't this be much easier if you just change the form by hand every time the category hits 2500 (or something)? Then sometimes you might have 2000, sometimes 3500, but it would be the same order of magnitude. I can already predict that the days in the beginning will be much slower than at the end :)

Hello Michael,

The easiest way is to create a template that is substed on the file page that automatically inserts the category you want.

 It seems likely that in the UK we
 will need to do pre-filtering of the entries as the
 competition goes on.  Is there any way to get the
 upload wizard to add each image to a custom daily category
 on Commons, such as  [[Category:WLM-UK 2013 09-01]],
 and so on, throughout the contest?

 If not, what would be the quickest way to populate such a
 daily category manually?
