Help:Categories
Collections of pages / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
For more information, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categories.
For information for editors on how to categorize a page, see Help:Category and Wikipedia:Categorization.
