Putting an item in a category (from WikiMedia)

A page in any namespace can be put in a category by adding a category tag, e.g.:

[[Category:Category name]]

This provides a link to the appropriate category page, which is in the namespace "Category". A category typically has an editable part, containing at least a category tag of a supercategory, see below; if it does not, the link to the category page is treated as a link to a non-existing page, hence it is a link to the edit page.

Pages can be included in more than one category by adding multiple category tags. These links do not show up in-page, but at the page margin in a fixed place, depending on the skin (the bottom for Monobook, the upper right corner for Standard). Category tags may be placed anywhere in the article, although they are typically added to the end of the article to avoid undesirable text display side effects. Category links are displayed in the order they occur in the article, unlike the automatic ordering of lists in the category pages themselves.

About ZUWiki Categories

For now, six categories exist: a Zelda category (Category:Zelda), a Community category for anything pertaining to the forums or chat room, or about users on ZU (Category:Community), and finally a miscellanious category (Category:Misc) for anything else. Recetnly created categpories include Zelda Community (Category:Zelda Community) for posting information about other Zelda sites, Musak (Category:Musak) for articles about bands and music, and Gaming (Category:Gaming) for other random gaming tidbits that do not go into the Zelda category.

Please note that we require the entries in the "Zelda" category to be of a more serious and informative nature as opposed to the two other categories, which are more for fun than anything else. Keep this in mind when adding articles.
