[edit] Linking to categories with out added the page to that category
Just thought I would drop you a note about this, it took me a lot of searching to figure out how to do this my self. If you want to link to a item (namespace) with out including it in you use a colon. So where as [[Image:Tsunami by hokusai 19th century.jpg|45px]] will give you , [[:Image:Tsunami by hokusai 19th century.jpg]] will give you Image:Tsunami by hokusai 19th century.jpg. The same is true with categories, (i.e. Category:Gender studies) For more see Wikipedia:Namespace. — Steven Andrew Miller (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Age category
Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:
- Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
- Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.
If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
