You can put the page Washington in Category:Washington (put [[Category:Washington]] in its text), and then put Category:Washington in Category:USA. You could put Washington in Category:USA in addition to this, depending on how you want to organize things. You can make categories into subcategories the same you would would add any page to a category.

HI,

I've browse through the Mediawiki help, without luck. I'm orking with Mediawiki 1.8.2

Is it possible to have some kind of parent/child relation with categories?

For example, I would like to categorize pages by US states, but I would also like to have a parent categorie USA. So that if I have a page Seattle categorized as Washington, it would show up on both categories: Washington and USA.

Is there a way to do something like this? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
