make an explanation for "uncategorized" easy to find
Describe the Feature You Want
This is only one possible solution, but: a tooltip next to the "uncategorized" resource linking to a doc explaining what it is and how to get rid of it.
Current Behavior
Users are regularly confused by what "uncategorized" is.
When trying to understand this exact issue, this was one of the first links to pop up. @landism alludes to a way 'to get rid of it', but doesn't go into details.
If anyone else ends up here asking the same thing, I found a related thread here: https://github.com/tilt-dev/tilt/issues/2989#issuecomment-640668032
tl;dr: When you look at the logs in the 'uncategorized' section, it gives a list of kubernetes resources that have not been categorized.
You can then reference the names of those resources, give them a 'new name' that categorizes them, and you can even apply labels to get groupings in the tilt UI.
Adding the following to my tiltfile takes 3 uncategorized kubernetes secrets, categorizes them as the entry 'loki-secrets', then adds them to the 'grafana' group in my setup:
k8s_resource( objects=[ 'loki-stack-grafana:secret', 'loki-stack:secret', 'loki-stack-promtail:secret'], new_name='loki-secrets', labels=["grafana"] )
edit: the official docs for this also have more info here: https://docs.tilt.dev/api.html#api.k8s_resource
