Categories
Each page can be categorized so it is easier to find. Each category has its own page that shows all pages within that category. Categories are also categorized into a hierarchy of categories. You can use categories to generate automatic lists of pages using Dynamic Page Lists. We are Developing a more intuitive approach to categorization using check boxes in the edit form.
How do I categorize a page?
To categorize, use the "Edit Source" link at the top of each page. Then add [[category:name]] to the top of the page content. Capitalize appropriately!
