Well, ultimately the issue of template naming is your decision. But yeah, noinclude is necessary. If a template has a category, then the article it's embedded in will also be given that category, unless that category is inside a noinclude. Then only the template will be categorized with that category but not the articles it's embedded in. And the opposite circumstance can be managed with includeonly tags. It's just how MediaWiki templating works, and it's worked that way for as long as I've been writing templates here, and at Wiktionary, and at Wikipedia, etc.
