I have reviewed Pathauto's description and think these categories are the best fit:
- Automation: because paths are autogenerated based on user-defined patterns
- Site structure: because having clearly defined paths provides structure to the website, thereby helping users navigate the website.

I'd like to propose adding "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)" and "Accessibility" to the list because better URL structure is important for both of these categories.
1. Administration Tools
2. Content Editing Experience
3. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
4. Accessibility - 🇺🇸United States bsnodgrass
We have a maximum of 3 categories to be assigned to a module with the new module category list.
I agree with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in clearly defining a human-readable URL alias that can be given a logical hierarchy for the path to match site structure and/or navigation. This I think is the number one choice.
I think administration tools are appropriate as they give site administrators no-code tools to configure URL alias patterns, which is a big plus for maintaining site structure.
I would propose these two over automation tools (it is automatic once patterns are setup, you can also bulk update URL alias if patterns change, but the process is manually initiated.
AFAIK there is nothing in accessibility guidelines for URL Alias patterns.
Editing Issue Summary, keeping the status at Needs Review.

I agree with SEO and Administration tools. It looks like "Site Structure" is struck out currently, but I think keeping that as the 3rd category (or maybe even ranked 2nd) makes sense. It's an extension of your content model, defining how it gets exposed to end users by URL.
1. SEO
2. Site Structure
3. Administration tools - 🇮🇪Ireland lostcarpark
Agree with bsnodgrass.
SEO is clearly the main function of the module.
Administrative tools is also a good fit.
I was wavering on Automation Tools. Ultimately, it is automating the process of generating URLs for pages. However, I'm skeptical that someone is going to be thinking of automating URL generation when they look in the automation category, so I can't see it being useful to add it there.
