[Mediawiki-l] First adventures with Category

[Anne Wilson]

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?
