What is a category?

How do I add categories to an article?

• Trevj's reply:

  You can either:

  1. manually add "[[Category:Category name]]" to articles via the usual editing process, as described at Help:Category (categories should be inserted below all article content but above any stub templates and interlanguage links); or
  2. install and use the automated HotCat script.

If adding manually, don't forget to make a note in the Edit summary!
