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

In Wikipedia, we do not add articles to a category by editing the category page, we add them by editing the individual articles' pages and linking the category from there. Please see FAQ/Categorization 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.

For further detailed information, see Help:Category and Categorization. Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Cheers! -- DB 1729 talk 23:25, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
