I'll try to explain which is the difference that you don't see, and please
excuse me for my bad English: Yes, Hidden Categories are categories, but
maintenance categories, not encyclopedic ones.
Now suppose you plan to collaborate by means of categorizing encyclopedically
uncategorized pages, I mean tagging some articles in there respective thematics
(i.e. geography, politics, biographies or so). Where can you find a list of
such thematic-uncategorized pages, especially those already including one o
more maintenance cats? The category where you are supposed to base this job is
not Articles_that_need_to_be_wikified, as most articles in that category *are*
already thematically categorized.

My proposal would create a list of *all* articles encyclopedically
uncategorized, having them been or not categorized in hidden maintenance
categories. If, as you consider, it isn't logical to search for them in this
particular Special page, feel free to change this bug title to "create a new
special page" that does that; but imho it shouldn't be a new special page.
