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. 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 20:19, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
