Sorry, those were poorly chosen examples. Here are some better ones:
Copy_to_Wikimedia_Commons_(bot-assessed) Stub-Class_biography_articles Automatically_assessed_biography_articles WikiProject_Disambiguation_pages Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_files
I don't think that any of these are hidden, at least by looking for them in page_props. These are all from the enwiki-20121201 dump.
Thanks,
Robert

Both of the categories you mentioned *are* hidden, so I think you can use that.

Is there any way to distinguish between categories like History, or Literature for example, and what I would think of as categories that are used for internal housekeeping like "Unprintworthy_redirects" or "Nonindexed_pages"? They're not hidden categories, but conceptually there is a clear difference between housekeeping categories and categories that define fields of knowledge. But is there anything in the tables that distinguishes them?
Thanks,
