How do I add categories to an article?[edit]
- Trevj's reply:
- You can either:
- manually add "[[Category:Category name]]" to articles via the usual editing process, as described at Help:Category (categories should be inserted below all article content but above any stub templates and interlanguage links); or
- install and use the automated HotCat script.
- If adding manually, don't forget to make a note in the Edit summary!
