I'll hold off on giving my opinion until I'm a little less tired, but you can hide categories from pages by putting the magic word [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Behavior_switches  onto the category page.

However, this is usually a bad idea for non-maintenance categories, since you can't toggle them on/off on a page-by-page basis.
