Categories
Hi Hootsmoan, I just wanted to let you know that I removed the container categories that you have been adding to articles, like you did in this edit. A container category is a category that contains only subcategories rather than articles. These subcategories will normally themselves contain articles. The articles where you are adding container categories, are already included in the appropriate subcategory. Categorization can be hard to understand, especially for new editors, but I'm sure if you take a look at the pages I linked above, you wiil have a better understanding of what I'm trying to explain here. If you need any help with anything, you can leave a message on my talk page and I'll try to help. Cmr08 (talk) 07:37, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
