[Mediawiki-l] RE: Newbie : Categories Explained?

[Tom Melendez]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the prompt responses to my questions about uploading and skins.

Would someone mind explaining Categories and Namespaces?

I'm trying to organize our documentation - which one should I use?  It appears to me that I should be using Categories,
is this correct?

I found this page:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category

which is pretty useful, but I'm confused at the first section: "How to add a category, and include a page in a category"

I put that line in my page, and I can see that this category now shows up if I run Special:Categories, but 
I'm unclear as to how to put pages in this category.  Do I just link to them like [[MyCategory:PageName]]

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
