Categories and editing about yourself[edit]
Hello. Regarding some recent edits of yours, I noticed you attempted to add a person's name directly to a category page.
In Wikipedia, we do not add articles to a category by editing the category page, we add them by editing the individual articles' pages and linking the category from there. Please see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#How do I add an article to a category? For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system.
Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists. In fact, they are not really lists at all, in the sense they only display subjects with Wikipedia pages. They are navigation aids; merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.
To categorize a page, first make sure the page actually belongs to the category. Then, go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories. For instructions on how to do this using VisualEditor, see Help:VisualEditor § Editing categories.
For further detailed information, see Help:Category and Wikipedia:Categorization.
Furthermore, the name of the person you've been adding, matches your username. If you are making edits about yourself, be aware that this is discouraged here at WP. I recommend reading Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography.
Thank you and have a great day! --DB1729talk 19:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
