Currently in Wikimore, a large amount of articles contain Categories that display at the top of the article, rather than at the bottom.

While this at first glance may be seen as an issue with the formatting of the Categories at the bottom of the page, the Categories that appear at the top of these articles do not appear in the Wikipedia equivalent of the page at all.

These Categories, unlike the Categories at the bottom of the page, are more on the topic of maintaining Wikipedia, and relate to the article itself rather than the contents of it. These Categories do multiple things such as describe the length of an article's description, indicate if the short description matches that shown for the subject in Wikidata, showcase if the article has multiple maintenance issues, etc..

These Categories regarding article quality and such that appear at the top of articles in Wikimore currently are what's known in Wikipedia as "Hidden Categories", meaning that while these pages belong to these Categories, those Categories do not appear in the article itself, whether it be to the end reader, or someone viewing the page source.

Using the Wikipedia article for Frenchcore as an example, the Categories that appear at the top of the page around the Template message in Wikimore are not at all visible in the original article on Wikipedia.
