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. In fact, they are not really lists at all, in the sense they only display subjects with Wikipedia pages. They are navigation aids; merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.

To categorize a page, first make sure the page actually belongs to the category. Then, go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories. For instructions on how to do 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 23:16, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Editing about yourself
Hi again. I hadn't noticed before but the name of the person you added to a category, matches your username. If it's your intention to promote yourself using Wikipedia, please read WP:PROMO. Regarding an edit to your sandbox, if it's your intention to write an article about yourself, then read Conflict of interest and Autobiography. -- DB 1729 talk 01:13, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
