To add a page to a category, include "[[Category:Category name]]" or "[[Category:Category name|Sortkey]]" in that page's wiki markup. The categories to which a page belongs appear in a box at the bottom of the page. A category is usually associated with a category page in the "Category:" namespace. [1]
Every category page should have at least one parent—a higher-level category. (The exception, of course, is the category page at the very top of the hierarchy.) Or, to put it differently, every category page but the very highest (shown in Figure 17-5) should be within a subcategory of at least one higher-level category. Figure 17-5.
Next, click on that red link, which brings you to the new category page to create. Finally, at the bottom of the category page, simply add the parent category (e.g.: [[Category:Parent category name]] ), which should usually be a hypernym of the subcategory. This will add the new category into the appropriate parent category.
Grouping articles into a category is not the same as making a list of articles.

This adds those articles as a list on the category's page.
To add a category to a user space draft, edit the article and add the category using the syntax [[:Category:Category name]] at the bottom of the article, e.g. [[:Category:Mind-body interventions]]. The colon syntax will not add your draft to the listing of articles in the category, but will list the categories as links at the bottom of the article.
To make all subcategories display on each screen, add a category tree to the text of the category page, as described at the help page under Displaying category trees and page counts. As with any Wikipedia page, the categories are typically placed at the bottom of the page.
If a suitable parent category likely exists but cannot be found, adding the {{Uncategorized}} tag is advisable. The category will then appear at Special:Uncategorizedcategories. Categories have sort keys like other pages, although they are used in a more flexible manner.
Redirect pages can be categorized by adding a category tag after the redirect command. In the case that the target of the redirect is a section, this has to some extent the effect of categorizing the section: through the redirect the category page links to the section; however, unless an explicit link is put, the section does not link to the ...
