Categories
Hello. Regarding this recent edit of yours, I noticed you attempted to add an item 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. For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system. Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists; in fact, they are not lists at all. Categories are navigation aids. They are merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.

To categorize a page, you must go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories, first making sure the page actually belongs to the category.

Please read Categorization and Help:Category for more information and clarification.

Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Thank you and have a great day! --DB1729 (talk) 20:26, 20 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I was hoping to add the name of Lillian Fadernan to the Hollywood High alumni. I believe she graduated in '59 when I did. The additional background info I included relates to her qualifications among the list of illustrious HHS grads. If you can add her name in the correct style, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 2600:6C55:7900:38C0:2C65:E7B7:6A53:15E7 (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2022 (UTC)


 * ✅. I had found this with a google search. So I added the category to her article here. DB1729 (talk) 22:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

 * You're welcome! Thank you for bringing this up and for your patience. By the way, I've have also taken upon myself to mention in her article that she attended Hollywood High.
 * If you intend to do any additional editing or talk page posts here at Wikipedia, I would recommend signing in to the account you have created. (Perhaps after seeing my categorization edit, you will now know how to do that on your own as well:) If, on the other hand, you are only here to take care of the above, understood, we're all done and I'm glad I could help.
