Categories are important and useful for organizing pages.

All links that have the Category: namespace, are categories.

Using Categories

  • To add a page to a category, you simply add it's link on the page
  • When viewing the page, the Category will always appear at the bottom, no matter where you put the link when editing.
Example: When editing this page, the category link is in the first line. But when viewing the category link appears on the bottom.
  • When adding multiple categories, each needs to be a separate 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.

What can be Categorized?

Everything can be put into a category

  • Pages
  • Categories (for further sorting)
  • Media Files (they have File: as namespace)
