Rename in other ways

These all have the problem that "essays" is something in the real world about which we can and do have articles:

1. Category:Essays about Wikipedian fallacies – maybe "Wikipedia essays about fallacies on Wikipedia", which actually better describes the scope of the content anyway (I think this category was my [SMcCandlish] own poor name choice.)
2. Category:Essays about what Wikipedia is – "Wikipedia essays about what Wikipedia is" (This one in particular isn't unlikely to cross paths with a real-world topic, since several people like Larry Sanger have written off-site essays of this sort.)
3. Category:Uncategorized essays – totally vague and a misnomer anyway; try "Topically uncategorized Wikipedia essays"
4. Category:Essay header templates – "Wikipedia essay header templates", for consistency with

I think an old CfD about the essay categories determined the phrase "user essays" was specific enough it didn't need "Wikipedia" as a prefix. "WikiProject" obviously is, too.
