Categories
Hello. Regarding this recent edit of yours, I noticed you attempted to add items 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. For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system. Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists; in fact, they are not lists at all. Categories are navigation aids. They are merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.

To categorize a page, you must go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories, first making sure the page actually belongs to the category.

Please read Categorization and Help:Category for more information and clarification.

Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Thank you and have a great day! --DB1729 (talk) 12:30, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
