"Creating a category is a bit of a bother, but it must be done, and it's not difficult if you know how to do it. Since you have already created the categories on all of your story pages by putting in <nowiki>[[Category:Your story name here]]</nowiki>, you can click on the red category link and add this text:

[[Category: Your story name here]]

<nowiki>An index of the pages in the story ''[[Your story name here]]''.</nowiki>

<nowiki>Or, to type it more simply, you can just type "{{a}} [[Your story name here]]</nowiki>". It will automatically put in the words "{{a}}".

"The rest of the page will be automatically created for you."

"It's also possible to create subcategories. Suppose your story contains characters and you want to describe them on pages of their own. You can put those pages in the category 'Story Characters'. Then when you create the category page, input:

<nowiki>An index of the characters in the story ''[[Your story name here]]''.

[[Category: Story Name]]
</nowiki>

"Now the category 'Story Characters' will be a subcategory of 'Story Name'.

Advanced linking

QWERTTT:

The genie cracks his knuckles. "Advanced linking! One of my favorites! This is a very handy trick when the link you want has been taken."

He points to the top of the page. "You notice that title? 'Advanced linking'? That title is unique. If someone put a link to 'Advanced linking' in their story, it would come here. That combination of characters can't be used ever again. It's not so much a problem for this word combination, but if you want to [[go up]] or [[sleep]], you're going to run into problems. Those links have been taken already. If you unintentionally link to a page that's already been created, don't overwrite the text! Use this handy trick instead."

"The following syntax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Go on, click it," he urges.
