Suggested way to proceed.

1 -- change the API call to use parameters not like this: 

action=query&generator=allcategories&gacprefix=Test&prop=info

but like this

&apnamespace=14&apprefix=foo

Which tests for pages in the Category namespace -- subtly different from
looking to see if something is in the Category table. If that is efficient
enough. Note that 14 is the usual namespace for categories but it should be
obtained from config.


2 -- if a category was not found via API, render it as red in the interface. 

We already are checking if the category exists (a dialog box is thrown up to
ask if the user is really sure) so this should not be difficult
