Eg, i don't want to have a complete article about Cape Canaveral in the Glossary - but a short explanation what and where it is makes sense.

I agree, but this is a category, and thus can only show links to other pages, you can't include a short defenition with each link.  A glossary would be better done like the [[List of Acronyms and Abbreviations]].  Having a category "Glossary" is rediculous, and it needs to be deleted.  But I would be more than happy to see a page devoted to a Glossary.

Do we really need a Category called "Glossary"? I mean, isn't the wiki itself a glossary? Can you point me to the wiki pages that shouldn't be in the glossary?
