Magnus,
My comments were not meant to criticise categories, or your attempts to make an implementation. I'm a proponent of categories: I think they can serve useful purposes. I'm also grateful you are actually exploring the problem space, instead of just talking about it like the rest of us.
Ditto! But I can plead technical incompetence :-)
I think the [[List of XXX topics]] categories are very useful, and having a pointer from the category list to the article is the natural way to do it: it also handles the case of making a category for a non-existent article.
Categories can be assigned to lists as well. I also see no way that we will ever do away with lists completely. They still serve a useful function for highlighting what articles are still wanted.
