Put an article in a category of articles

Before putting an article in a category, please check the bottom of the article to view any categories it's already attached to, and the current list of categories.

To put an article in a given category, type the following code at the bottom of the edit window:

Category:Name of the Category

If the category does not already exist, the above code will create it.

Please preview the spelling of the category to make sure it looks correct. Before saving, note your change in the "Summary" box at the bottom of the page as follows, adding a colon between the "[[" and "Category":

Added to Category: My New Category

The colon should always be used when creating a link to the category page. This avoids adding the page containing the link to the category.
