==Categorisation== | |||
Ensuring each page is properly categorised is crucial for pages to be findable by users. Refer to similiar pages to find the exact category names that match, or create a new category if it doesn't exist yet. | |||
You can categorise a page by adding the following text anywhere on the page: | |||
<nowiki>[[Category:Insert category name here]]</nowiki> | |||
For beginners, we suggest using the templates provided (see next section) to start a page. These templates have the appropriate categories pre-inserted. | |||
