Plenty of wiki's add categories to pages which don't have an associated page: most of the time, when a category page is physically created like an article, it is just to list it in some other category for navigation purposes, as it will just clutter up Special:UncategorizedCategories Yes, I appreciate that. The page I created doesn't have any content, I wanted to create the new category page mostly for navigation purposes.

The issues I had was trying to find out how to create a new page. As usual with most Help pages, they are fit to act as only a reminder. They make the assumption that you already know what's needed and all you need is a reminder as to what to do. They don't really help if you have no idea what to do. For example, the Help:Catergory > How to create category pages starts by telling you "Adding a category to a page..." The trouble is, I didn't want to *add* a category to a page, I wanted to *create* a category. From then the description just went downhill. Now I know what to do, I can sort of make sense of the Help page but before it was just gobbledygook. It's not written for newbies but for experienced users. Anyway, end of rant :)
