:'''Categories''' are important and useful for organizing pages.
−
All ''pages'' that have the <code>Category:</code> namespace, are categories.  
+
All links 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===
+
==What can be Categorized?==
−
*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.
+
Everything can be put into a category
−
*This is why it is best to '''add categories in the first line''', so they are easily found when editing.
+
*'''Pages'''
−
*Even if a category has not been created, items can be put into it (the link will just appear red).
+
*'''Categories''' (for further sorting)
−
*Categories are groups and can be used to link together related groups ''(Categories in Categories)'' and some are in multiple ones.
+
*'''Media Files''' (they have <code>File:</code> as namespace)

:*To add a page to a category, you simply add it's link on the page

:::''Example: When editing this page, the category link is in the first line. But when viewing the category link appears on the bottom.
−
:*'''Media Files''' (they have <code>File:</code> as namespace)
+
:*''When adding '''multiple categories''', each needs to be a separate link
−
:*'''Redirects''' (useful for getting certain things to appear on the Category page list, just add them after the Redirect link)
+
:::They will automatically arrange the links '''alphabetically''' when viewed.
 +
:*For clean setup, I recommend to '''always''' put the category link in the first line, for easy location when editing.
