Pick something you don't think will be too specific, but isn't too vague (I've avoided making a !CategorySystemAdministration for example, but !CategoryNetworking is a pretty good idea.)

Why don't wiki links (!Category:Category) work on backlinks?__ :
Because then you could never link to a category without actually making the page part of that category! You'll note that while there is a !Category:Category link at the bottom of this page, !CategoryCategory isn't in the list above.

Pretty much. Using a WikiWord will also make the parent category ''link back to you'', which is the important part.
