- Categories are important and useful for organizing pages.
All links that have the Category: namespace, are categories.
What can be Categorized?
Everything can be put into a category
- Pages
- Categories (for further sorting)
- Media Files (they have
File:as namespace)
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.
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.
