== Summary == Each of the pages in the '''Category''' [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] represents a so-called '''category''', a grouping of related pages, and contains an index for the pages of its category. For example, this page belongs to "[[:Category:Help]]". If you open the "[[:Category:Help]]" page, you will see a link to this page there. When a page belongs to one or more categories, these categories appear at the bottom of the page (or in the upper-right corner, depending on the [[Help:Preferences|skin]] being used). The category pages themselves contain 2 parts : * at their beginning, an optional part may contain text that can be edited, like any other page, * at their end, an ever present, automatically generated, alphabetical list of all pages in that category, in the form of links. (In fact, in ASCII order. See [[Help:Special page]]). To assign a category to a page, simply add the link "<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name'']]" to the page's wikitext. The usual place to add it is at the bottom of the page. To link a category page within a page as a normal wiki link (without adding the page to the category), prefix the link name with a colon. For example: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>:Category:Not in this category]] New categories can be [[Help:Starting a new page|created]] before assigning any page to it, in the same way as any other regular page. Individual wikis may have their own top-level categories, such as [[wikipedia:Category:Contents|Category:Contents]] in Wikipedia. For a complete list of all categories which have at least one page, see [[Special:Categories]]. For a complete list of all created/edited categories, including the ones that don't have any page, see [[Special:Allpages/Category:]] (note the colon at the end).
