Putting Pages in Categories
A page belongs to a category if the page's wikitext contains a declaration for that category. A category declaration takes the form ] or ]. The declaration must be processed, i.e. it will not work if it appears between
A category name can be any string that would be a legitimate page title. It cannot begin with a lower-case letter. If the category name given in a category declaration begins with a lower-case letter, then it is interpreted as if it were capitalized.
In Wikipedia, it is customary to place category declarations at the end of the wikitext, but before any stub templates (which themselves transclude categories) and interlanguage links.
When a page has been added to one or more categories, a categories box appears at the bottom of the page (or possibly elsewhere, if a non-default skin is being used). This box contains a list of the categories the page belongs to, in the order in which the category declarations appear in the processed wikitext. The category names are linked to the corresponding category pages. They appear as redlinks if the corresponding category page does not exist.
Hidden categories are not displayed, except as described below under Hiding categories.

Famous quotes containing the words putting, pages and/or categories:
“The Sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I have experienced such simple delight in the trivial matters of fishing and sporting, formerly, as might have inspired the muse of Homer or Shakespeare; and now, when I turn the pages and ponder the plates of the Angler’s Souvenir, I am fain to exclaim,—
“Can such things be,
And overcome us like a summer’s cloud?””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
