Categories

Hello. Regarding this recent edit of yours, I noticed you attempted to add an item directly to a category page.

In Wikipedia, categories must be added to the article, not the other way around. Please see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#How do I add an article to a category? For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system.

Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists. They are navigation aids; merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.

To categorize an article, first make sure it actually belongs to the category. Then, go to the article and add the category at the bottom of the page. To remove an article from a category, edit the article and remove the category. For instructions on how to do all this using VisualEditor, see Help:VisualEditor § Editing categories. For further detailed information, see Help:Category and Wikipedia:Categorization.

Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Cheers! --DB1729talk 12:01, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
