Categories confused me at first too. I found it was much easier to type of an outline of what I thought the categories might look like. Just open up a text file (or create a MyPage/CategoryPlanning or something), then type up an outline of basic categories.


 * Browse
 * Content
 * Luton Town Football Club
 * Players
 * -pages-
 * History
 * -pages-

…something like that. Then it's much easier to build the category tree after you already know where everything is going to go. I also looked at the categories on other similar wikis to kind of figure out what content other people included and how they structured the categories.

For the first couple of weeks, Special:CategoryTree was invaluable 😉. Just type in "Browse" and hit "show tree" to see where everything is.
