Categories should be used as collection mechanic instead of custom made pages where we have to manually add links to new articles.

You can add a category to an article by adding <pre><nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki~~></pre~~>'''CategoryName'''~~<pre>~~<nowiki>]]</nowiki></pre> anywhere in the article (categories are usually listed either at the start or end of an article). CategoryName should obviously be replaced with the name of the category. For an example, see the source of this article and note that it includes <pre><nowiki>[[Category:Guides]]</nowiki></pre>.

If you wish to link to a category page, use the following syntax: <pre><nowiki>[[:Category:CategoryName]]</nowiki></pre> (note the first ':'). Example: ~~[[:Category:Guides|Guides]] (~~<pre><nowiki>[[:Category:Guides|Guides]]</nowiki></pre>).

If you wish to link to a category page, use the following syntax: <pre><nowiki>[[:Category:CategoryName]]</nowiki></pre> (note the first 'colon'). Example: <pre><nowiki>[[:Category:Guides|Guides]]</nowiki></pre>
