Wikipedia:Community feature requests/Warning when adding a category or template to discussion page


 * Problem: On the Help desk or Teahouse it is hard for newbies to link to a category or file, as typing in a category name just adds the page to the category and silently disappears, while files display rather than link.
 * Proposed solution: Add a warning on these help pages when a user types in a category or filename
 * Who would benefit: The people asking and answering questions
 * Category: New contributors
