== Why and how do I create categories? ==


You can create your own categories as appropriate to add different dimensions to a page. A page may not just about an artist, it may also be about an artisan instrument maker, someone who immigrated to Canada, and so on. When added to a category, that page becomes part of a new category list. This page is part of [[:Category:Wiki documentation]], artist pages are in categories according to art, location, and so on.

Add the wiki markup to the page that belongs in the category. For example, <nowiki>[[Category:My category]]</nowiki>. That will become a link that lists all pages in that category, including the one you're editing.
