User:WikiWriter/Samples/How to add a Wiki article to a category

This process is a little counter-intuitive - adding a Wiki article to a category actually involves adding a category 'tag' to the Wiki article. Before adding a Wiki article to a category you should look at the list of categories.

What to do

edit

With the article open in edit-mode :

  1. Scroll to the place you want the image to be (by convention category 'tags' are added to the bottom of an article)
  2. Enter '[[Category:category-name]]' where 'category-name' is the name of the category to which you are adding the Wiki article
  3. Click the Save page button - the Wiki article is added to the category

Example

edit
[[Category:Help]]

Added this Wiki article to the Help category.
