Talk:How does something get added to a category?


 * For templates like Named Clothing to automatically categorize a page, the page must be in the Item namespace. (Just add Item: to the beginning of the pagename.) I moved for you, and it is now categorized, including Category:Cosmetic Headwear items. —&thinsp; Zav &thinsp; (T·C) 22:31, January 28, 2016 (EST)
 * Also worth noting is that any page added to a category automatically by a template may take up to a week to show up in the category (seen it take 4 months on the English Wikipedia, but we don't have a fraction of their traffic). It's due to the way that the MW software updates the internal cat table with something call a job queue.  We can force things through the queue and force clear cached pages but it's generally a bad idea to do that. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 22:49, January 28, 2016 (EST)
