: A category is something between a directory in a directory path and a tag, as a page sometimes can benefit from being in more than one category. Adding a category to a page is a way to organise the articles and put them in a larger context. A page is added to a category by adding a link to the category on the page, like <code><nowiki>[[Category:Help]]</nowiki></code>, preferably at the end. To link to a category without adding a page to the category, the page name is preceded by a colon, like <code><nowiki>[[:Category:Help]]</nowiki></code>. | : A category is something between a directory in a directory path and a tag, as a page sometimes can benefit from being in more than one category.
