Categories
Hello. I noticed in this recent edit of yours you attempted to add a couple song titles directly to a category page.

In Wikipedia, the category must be added to the articles, 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. Note, if there is no existing WP article on the subject, then there is nothing to do as far as categorization is concerned. Indeed, in these particular cases there is no WP article for the Jackson Browne song All Good Things, nor an article for A Little Soon To Say, so there is nothing to categorize.

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 18:45, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
