Hello. Please click here for the section in our help guide concerning categorization. If we had an article on the gang, we could add categories to it.

In Wikipedia, we do not add items to a category by editing the category page, we add them by editing the individual articles' pages and linking the category from there. For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system. Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists; in fact, they are not lists at all. Categories are navigation aids. They are merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.

To categorize a page, you must go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories, first making sure the page actually belongs to the category. In this case, East Starns Crips has no Wikipedia article, so there is nothing that can be done with categorization unless the page is created one day.

Please read Wikipedia:Categorization and Help:Category for more information and clarification. Thank you. --DB1729 (talk) 05:42, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
