If a user creates an article with missing category or title, the errors returned will show for both category and title.

1) create new article > do not enter category
2) submit article for review

expected: error for missing category
actual: errors display for both title and category

This looks like it's just because we're using the default django values for form validation. This should be quick and easy to replace with more sensical text, e.g. "The category is required."

Since this was filed we've made it impossible to not choose a category. The list of errors I get by going to /en-US/kb/new and clicking "Submit for review" with no other data mentions each required field specifically.
