[[Category:WikiHelp]]
:'''Categories''' are important and useful for organizing pages.
+
'''Categories''' are important for proper organizing on the Wiki, its a easy way to group them together and find other pages/files belonging to the same category.
All ''pages'' that have the <code>Category:</code> namespace, are categories.
 
==Using Categories==
 
*To add a page to a category, write the category link on the page: <code><nowiki>[[Category:WikiHelp]]</nowiki></code>
 
*To create a normal [[Help:Links|link]] to a category without adding the page to said category, you need to write it like this: <code><nowiki>[[:Category:WikiHelp]]</nowiki></code>
 
  
===Notes===
+
==Banners with Categories==
*The ''Categories'' will '''always''' appear at the bottom of the page when viewed if done correctly, no matter where you put the Category tag when editing.  
+
I have made some ''banners'' which can be seen at the top of some pages, which links to other related material.  
*This is why it is best to '''add categories in the first line''', so they are easily found when editing.
+
*These banners are a [[Help:Templates|template]] which is inserted to the page
*Even if a category has not been created, items can be put into it (the link will just appear red).
+
*The pages using these banners will '''automatically''' be put into the relevant Category (its how I coded it).
*Categories are groups and can be used to link together related groups ''(Categories in Categories)'' and some are in multiple ones.
+
*:This means you should not add these banners to pages that do not belong to the category, but simply add a link in the '''See Also''' which is at the bottom of every page or can be easily created.
 
+
*You will see on the template page itself a note telling you if the template comes with a category or not.
==What can be Categorized?==
 
Everything can be put into a category, such as
 
:*'''Pages'''
 
:*'''Categories''' (for further sorting)
 
:*'''Media Files''' (they have <code>File:</code> as namespace)
 
:*'''Redirects''' (useful for getting certain things to appear on the Category page list, just add them after the Redirect link)
 
 
 
==Templates with Categories==
 
Some templates have been made so it will add the page using it into the same category.  
 
*There will be a note on the template page itself, telling you what the template is made to do, such as if it will add the page to a category.
 
*An example can be made of this help page, by using the <code><nowiki>{{WikiHelp}}</nowiki></code> template, the page has been organized into the [[:Category:WikiHelp|WikiHelp Category]].
