I have thought about it. If we are unable to find a better solution, then I think we will have to go with that. But the achievements system can also encourage contributions for new users, which is something we'd rather not lose.

For now, I'm working on adding notes to all the category pages that should not be added to pages manually and on cleaning up the current mess. Next, I think we should have a community discussion about adding the AbuseFilter extension to this wiki in order disallow adding pages to the categories to which pages should only be added with the infoboxes (and also in order to prevent other nonsense, like people moving pages to the Blog namespace, the Topic namespace and other places where pages should not be moved).

I don't know for sure whether these things will fix the problem with people adding pages to categories. If it doesn't, we'll want to think about removing the achievements system.
