You make some good points. There is practical use in having a top-level category, since there is value in distinguishing categories that are supposed to be top-level from categories that just haven't been integrated with the rest of the category tree yet.

I don't want categories to be added to a top-level category just so that Special:UncategorizedCategories is empty though, and I felt this had happened with the previous Category:Browse.

So I am in favor of adding a top-level category, say Category:Contents (this is the name the English Wikipedia uses for its top-level category, the only reason I see to use "Browse" is that it is the starter name of the category on Wikia), but only as part of a much-needed general cleanup of the category tree. We need to look at each category on this wiki and think about what its purpose and place should be.

I think we should also create a Project:Categories page and explain there how the categories are organized (and discuss the special categories like Category:Hidden categories, Category:Pages with script errors, ...).
