From Create Your Own Story

Categories and a warm welcome

Hey Mikan, just having a look at your recent contributions. The page you made, Blows you, didn't have a category. Categories look like this when you type them into the editor:

[[Category:Streaker]]

Where 'Streaker' is the name of whatever story you're editing. Just stick this little bit of text at the end of a page to add it to a category. This way, new pages appear in the page counts on the Main Page. Additionally, this makes it vastly easier to tell what story any random page is from (look at the bottom left corner of any page in a story to see its category).

Each page needs to have options. Even if they're just red links now, add something in to give future contributors somewhere to start.

I know it's a little overwhelming at first, but it'll all start to click soon. Welcome to the site!
