Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Versal literary journal has been reverted. Your edit here to Versal literary journal was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://halmagazine.wordpress.com/about-2/masthead/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

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

In Wikipedia, the category must be added to the article, not the other way around. 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. Once published (saved) the blue-linked name of the article will automatically appear on the category page. To remove an article from appearing on a category page, 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.

In this particular case, there appears to be no Wikipedia article on the subject of Hamilton Arts & Letters. It is therefore impossible to do what you're trying to do because there is nothing to categorize. Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear, but hope this helps in your understanding of the situation.

Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Cheers! -- DB 1729 talk 23:29, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I was looking up Canadian online magazines for a friend who is working with refugee writers. I found Wikipedia's Category:Online magazines published in Canada and thought I ought to add Hamilton Arts & Letters, but I'm really not knowledgeable about how to do things properly.
