==Adding a page to a category== To add a page or uploaded file to a category, simply edit the page and add the following text (where '''''Name''''' is the name of the category you want to add it to). <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:category}}:'''''Name''''']] Any number of {{ns:category}} tags may be added to the page and the page will be listed in all of them. {{ns:category}} tags, along with [[Manual:Interwiki#Interwiki_links_to_other_languages|interwiki language links]] placed in the sidebar, are usually added at the very bottom of the page for the convenience of other editors. On a categorised page, categories are displayed in the Categories: box strictly in the order they appear in the wikitext. If $wgUseCategoryBrowser is set to true, under the first list each category is listed again, [[wikipedia:breadcrumb (navigation)|breadcrumb]]-style, with all its parent categories, sorted alphabetically. (At least in MediaWiki 1.18.2) if a category is a subcategory of more than one parent, both hierarchies will be listed, but the tagged category will be stripped off all but one of these. This creates the potential for what appear to be duplicate entries if a category with multiple parents ''and'' one of its parents are both tagged on a page. For example suppose Maryanne is a subcategory of both Mary and Anne. If a page tags categories Maryanne and Anne then the Category breadcrumbs will show Anne Anne Mary -> Maryanne "Anne" appears to be duplicated, but what is meant is Anne Anne -> Maryanne Mary -> Maryanne This is probably a bug, and has been reported in [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33614 Bug 33614]. ===Sort key=== By default, a page is sorted within a category under the first letter of its full name ''including the namespace''. Also, MediaWiki groups accented characters separately from their unaccented version, so pages starting by Γ, Γ, Γ, will be listed under separate headings, instead of under heading A. (If you have shell access, these defaults can be changed using [[Manual:$wgCategoryCollation|$wgCategoryCollation]].) A ''sort key'' specifies under which letter heading, and where in the category list, the page will appear. You can add a sort key by placing it inside the tag after a pipe character. For example, the tag below will add the page under heading "S". <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:category}}:'''''Name'''''|'''''Sort''''']] Sort keys are case-sensitive, and spaces and other characters are also valid. The order of the sections within a category follows the Unicode sort order. The sort key does not change the page title displayed in the category. See [[Help:Sorting]] for further information on category sorting.
