'''Categories''' are used in Wikipedia to link articles under a common topic and are found at the bottom of the article page. Clicking the category name displays a list of articles in that category, below a list of sub-categories (''categories'' in that category) (if any). Categories allow readers to navigate through Wikipedia and find related articles.
 
Categories are not displayed in the [[Help:Mobile access|mobile version]] ([[phab:T24660]]). Mobile users can click "Desktop" at the bottom of a page to see the desktop version with categories. Registered users can enable [[:mw:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|Advanced mode]] which includes a "Categories" button.
