[edit] How to create new categories
If an image or media file needs to be put in a new category, you will have to create that category.
1. To do so, put the new category name into the search field at the left of your screen:
-
- Category:NEW CATEGORY NAME
2. Then click on "Go". You will see new screen with some red text.
3.Click on the red text. This will open an edit window.
4. Add the category links where the new category is supposed to belong to:
-
- [[Category:CATEGORY NAME]]
5. Save the page. You have created a new category.
You can create as many categories, and levels of categories, as are needed to correctly categorize the image and media files.
