Description

/lib/modules/modlib.php has some names that really do not make sense, in any language, including English, because they do not fit the descriptions. Remember that on the GUI the names will serve as a headline for the description:

Copy to clipboard
'category' => [
					'name' => tra('Category'),
					'description' => tra('Module displayed depending on category. Separate multiple category IDs or names by semi-colons.'),
					'section' => 'visibility',
					'separator' => ';',
					'filter' => 'alnum',
					'profile_reference' => 'category',
				],
				'nocategory' => [
					'name' => tra('No Category'),
					'description' => tra('Module is hidden depending on category. Separate multiple category IDs or names by semi-colons. This takes precedence over the category parameter above.'),
					'section' => 'visibility',
					'separator' => ';',
					'filter' => 'alnum',
					'profile_reference' => 'category',
				],

Why is an option to hide a module, based on category, named "no category"? In the code and in the GUI? Actually, when someone wants to use that feature, he or she has to set a category and list it here, so "no category" doesn't make any sense at all. In no language.
