I counted at least 3 mis-categorized topics just this weekend, and beyond the notification we also have to categorize them ourselves.
Unfortunately I can't "encourage" without enforcing a strict rule. Discourse only has an option to force people to chose a category, not an option to make it more obvious that people should chose a category. That's why I suggested the "Miscellaneous" category: they will be forced to pick a category, but if nothing fits they can always pick "Miscellaneous". Obviously I don't imagine that people will think "Miscellaneous" will fit their needs exactly, that's a last resort.
