Categories have not been widely (or correctly) used on our wiki, and I want to start sorting this out. Following the wiki instructions I have created the first category that I wanted, but I'm puzzled about the category links created on the pages. The wiki states: <quote> These links do not appear at the location where you inserted the tag, but at the page margin in a fixed place, depending on the skin (the bottom for MonoBook, the upper right corner for Standard). </quote>
I find that, putting the category statement at the end of the page, I actually see "Category: Getting Started" at the place I entered it. What's more, 'Getting Started' is red, like an un-created page, although clicking on it does take me to the category's listing.
Further on in the wiki it says to add a colon, as
[[:Category:Getting Started]]
but that results in the whole statement turning into a red link.
What do I need to do to correct this?
