Revising this... the real problem is that the Commons categorization bot sees
that a file has a category, and assumes it doesn't need to be tagged as "needs
categories".

So, the real fix is:

- Mention to the user that categories are in English, canonically.

- If there are no categories added, then add {{subst:unc}} to the wikitext. The
parser will expand that to an {{Uncategorized| ... }} template.

- (complicated) if we still want to allow the user to create categories
(perhaps they will be helpful to recategorization) then they shouldn't count,
and {{subst:unc}} should still be added. But it's definitely simpler to bar
them from creating a new category, however counterproductive... a widget that
could express a tree structure would be better.

These fixes are very Commons-specific, so they should be in configuration. i.e.
uncategorized-template or something.
