Simple as that.<br /> <br /> By using categories you get an index page for that category, and also a reference to the category-page at the bottom of each article in that category.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Create a Category ==<br /> <br /> To make an article memeber of a category, you simply put the following tag somewhere on the page: '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:CategoryName]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;''' where ''CategoryName'' is the name of the category (duh!).<br /> <br /> You don't need to actually create the category - just mark one page as a member of a category and it exists!<br /> <br /> For example, to make an article member of the ''Forest'' category, you put the following line somewhere in the page:<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Forest]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Please note that the markup looks like an ordinary inta-wiki link, but in this special case it won't act like one.<br /> <br /> == Link to the category ==<br /> <br /> If you want to make a link to the category-page, you put a ''colon'' in front of the name: '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[:Category:Forest]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;''' --&gt; [[:Category:Forest]].<br /> <br /> == Edit the category page ==<br /> <br /> The category page is actually an article itself. It will always display a list of articles, but if you edit the page you can add info in the area above the articles.</div>
