Ok, I opted to use categories. Once I played with it a little, it all
came together.
Figured I would post this just in case it helps anyone else.
You place the category tag on the page that you are editing like so:
[[Category:My Category]]
This automatically creates the category.
Making subcategories involves making the "children" first, then the
"parent". You make one category the subcategory of another by placing
the category tag inside of that category's page.
So, when editing the page for "My Category", I would put
[[Category:Parent Category]]
to make "My Category" a subcat of "Parent Category".
This page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category
is pretty useful - I just needed some trial and error with it all.
Thanks folks!

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
