Category:Athletes from Minnesota
Hi - Please stop adding this category to articles. First, it isn't a category that exists. Second, all of the people you are applying it to have other categories that are more specific versions ("Basketball players from minnesota," "Baseball players from Minnesota," etc.) Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 19:17, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks-Why shouldn't it be a category? How do you search for categories?
 * Well, Category:Sportspeople from Minnesota already exists, I think that's what you were going for, wasn't it? You can search in the search bar by just typing Category:Name of category.  Just like searching articles, just make sure you put "Category:" in first. Rikster2 (talk) 19:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

What about the one for Wisconsin Track and Field Athletes. I created a category for that. Is that ok? So I type Sportspeople from Minnesota and that's fine?


 * You should call it "Category:Track and field athletes from Wisconsin" so the name matches Category:Track and field athletes from West Virginia. You have to create a category before you can put it on an article.  Where did you add it?  I can try to help. Rikster2 (talk) 19:28, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You should read Categorization to get the hang of it. Only categories tha exist should be added.  If a category doesn't exist but it should (like maybe "Category:Track and field athletes from Wisconsin" you first have to create it (like you create an article), then you can add it to the relevant pages.  Please read up on what parent and sub categories are (if "Sportspeople from Minnesota" is the parent, then "Basketball players from Minnesota" is the sub-category - an article only needs the sub category since all basketball players from Minnesota are Sportspeople from Minnesota).  Also, please do your research on capitalization and generally how to create a category at the link I provided.  It isn't hard to do, but there are some important things to keep in mind, which the link should help with.  Good luck! Rikster2 (talk) 19:37, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
