Our system for naming categories does not match the one on Commons exactly. For instance,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Modeling-Evolutionary-Dynamics-of-Epigenetic-Mutations-in-Hierarchically-Organized-Tumors-pcbi.1001132.s008.ogv
has initially been categorized into
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Monte_carlo_method , while
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Monte_Carlo_method
would be correct. In principle, such cases could be handled by way of category redirects (e.g. as in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Monte-Carlo_method ) but for categories containing typos (such as the lower-case "carlo" in the example above), this is not accepted on Commons.

I think the best way to handle such cases would thus be to emulate category redirects by having a manually curated list of names that should be converted on our end into the accepted Commons name.

I'll start this list with the above example in the next comment in this thread.
