Categories help sort articles out by a common topic and should be added to articles where possible. Articles CAN have multiple categories and you will find that many of them will. Some examples of such are below.

How to add a category[]

Adding a category to the article can the done in the visual editor

Page Options ( cog / wheel in top right of the editor ) -> Categories -> Add a category to this page --> Type in the category -> Apply (top right).

Or if you're using the source editor, with the following wikitext at the bottom of the very bottom of article under all of the content.

<noinclude> [[Category: Category Name]] </noinclude>

There's also a very simple way to add them while reading (not editing) an article. At the very bottom there is a 'Categories' section, after expanding this you are given the option to 'Add Category'. There you can simply type in the name of the category (or categories one at a time).
