[edit] Categories

It is important to categorise your new page/article, so that others can find it.

At the bottom of your new page, add [[Category:foobar]] where foobar is the name of the category. It is a good idea to have a look at existing categories to make sure that you aren't duplicating a category with a slightly different name.

Pages can be included in more than one category by adding multiple category tags.

To see what catagories alread exist on Meta Collab, see Categories.

[edit] Creating a subcategory

Adding a category tag to a category page makes the edited category a subcategory of the tag's category.

For example, you could edit [[Category:Ecommerce]] and add the link [[Category:Business]]. The Ecommerce category would then be a subcategory of the Business category.

For more information, please refer to the [[1]] page at Wikipedia.
