Category Tips:
To create a fresh "New" Category type it into the Browser Address bar.
Example: http://wiki.ledhed.net/index.php/Category:Animals
Where "Animals" is the name of the new Category.

If it is in fact a new category, "Edit" the category and add text and such to it.

• Categories are not a Tree Hierarchy!
• Only Categories can be Sub-Categories.

To categorize an article you must add this to the end of the page.

[[Category:NameOfCategory]]

where NameOfCategory is the name of the Category you want to associate the artical with.

To associate a Category as a Sub-Category of another Category you must add this to the end of the page.

[[Category:NameOfCategory]]

where NameOfCategory is the name of the Category you want to become a Sub-Category of.

To create a link to a Category use this format:
[[:Category:Foo]]
will appear as Category:Foo

Notice the colon (:) before the word Category!!

or

[[:Category:Foo|Foo]] will appear as Foo

Notice the colon (:) before the word Category and the Pipe (|) between the 2 Foo's!! the work after the Pipe is the Title (which can be anything you want not just Foo

Renaming:

Use the Move tab to rename a Page or Category. Moving a page/category will cause the original to be redirected.

You may need to delete the original if the redirect is no longer needed.

Editing Tips:

• <br> = Break or New Line
• Use <nowiki></nowiki> tags to ignore wiki formatting
  

There is also an Icon for this at the top of the editor.

• Use a * (Asterisk) at the beginning of a line to create a bullet
