Do I have to add the tags to my article?


 * Do you mean categories at the bottom of the page? If so:

To add an article to a category, you place a category tag at the bottom of the article. Note: you never edit the category page to add an entry, you edit the article instead.

For example, to add the article Gary Swann to the category Category:Preston North End F.C. players, you edit Gary Swann and place \" \" at the bottom of the article.

See Category and Categorization FAQ for more information.

 * I miss-read your question, sorry it's been a long day! No, you don't have to add categories but they do help users find articles easier. Andyreply 16:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for this but what I meant was this: I wrote an article entitiled Lady Sarah Wilson, with references in it to the Siege of Mafeking and the Boer War. I noticed that there are articles on both of these topics but they didn't appear in my article as blue links until I put brackets around the words, Siege of Mafeking and Boer War. Is this what I have to do to create blue links in an article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johntie (talk • contribs).
