Problem/Motivation

As per https://www.drupal.org/node/3375748 → , usage of translatable string for field type definition category is deprecated.

Steps to reproduce

Check the ViewsReferenceItem class annotation:

/**
 * Defines the 'viewsreference' entity field type.
 *
 * The target type for viewsreference fields should always be 'view'.
 *
 * @FieldType(
 *   id = "viewsreference",
 *   label = @Translation("Views reference"),
 *   description = @Translation("A field reference to a view."),
 *   category = @Translation("Reference"),
 *   default_widget = "viewsreference_autocomplete",
 *   default_formatter = "viewsreference_formatter",
 *   list_class = "\Drupal\viewsreference\Plugin\Field\ViewsReferenceFieldItemList",
 * )
 */

Proposed resolution

Replace the translated category property with:
category = "reference",
