 * I moved your reply to the Skills talk page (see link above) to keep the thread together. See there for my reply. Also, please prefix with one or more colons to indent your discussion replies, and sign them with four tildes, like ~, which automatically makes a sig like this --> Dedridd 11:10, March 8, 2006 (EST)

Category benefits
Hey, Pepcfreak, I just noticed the hard work you did on the Dungeon page, and wanted to let you know that can be done automatically just by making a new category for the Dungeon and marking each of those pages to be in that category. Then when you go to the category page, everything belonging to it is automatically listed in alphabetical order - and, anytime anything new is added to the category, it gets added to the category page as well, automatically. Tihocan and I were chatting about this very benefit on the Talk:City page. Let us know what you think over there. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have about categories, if you have any. Dedridd 15:59, March 8, 2006 (EST)


 * Thanks if you could point me into the direction to help me learn it on my own "Only way i learn hands on" i will most certianly use your method as i have seen it used other areas just didnt know how to implament it. Pepcfreak 16:04, March 8, 2006 (EST)
 * Peerless will cringe at this, but here's a link I was provided with when I first started doing edits here - [Category help]. Some of the features listed in the help docs there won't work here, but the vast majority of it will. The short version of what you'll see there about categories is that a category page is just a page in the Category namespace, so you add a Category: at the front of the link, like . Now the page you put that 'tag' on will show up on the Category:Something page. Note that when you want to link to the category page, you prepend the whole thing with a colon, like Category:Something . You'll know that you forgot the colon because you'll see the category link appear at the bottom of the page, designating that the page is now part of the category. Also please note that category pages are always plural (see the Naming policy). Dedridd 16:21, March 8, 2006 (EST)
 * *Cringes* I am trying to SEPERATE us from wikimedia, thanks... lol - also, not ALWAYS plural, again there are some things that arent. If you can read the naming policy and get an idea of what we are trying to do with the page names, then you'll find that 99% of the time the correct page name is common sense!
 * Find a nice document detailing the wiki syntax and capabilities other than wikimedia, and I'll happily remove that one from my bookmarks. ;) Google searches didn't turn up any better than this for me, though. Dedridd 16:45, March 8, 2006 (EST)


 * Ok i created a Category Dungeons. Now im lost on how to make that catagory appear on the "places>Dungeons" page.


 * You mean redirect Dungeons to Category:Dungeons?
