You may also wish to consult help:categories. Be aware, though that I've given you advice, above, of how to add categories while in source mode. To my mind, it's the easiest way to add categories. Most editing on this wiki is done through source mode. You can elect to set source mode as your preferred method of editing by going to Special:Preferences, and then the Editing tab. Or you can choose to make a single edit in source mode by going to the edit button on any page and pulling down to "classic editor". Adding categories is also possible in the new VisualEditor, but the help file doesn't tell you how.
Also, the help file is written for use on a default wiki setup, and we're fairly customised. So it makes reference to some things that don't exist here. Ignore paragraph three of the first section, and ignore the whole of the section labelled "category presentation".
Also while the information on adding a sort key is strictly speaking accurate, it's almost never necessary on this wiki. We have a few templates here that make auto sorting much easier than the "sort parameters" section suggests.
For people, when you create a new page about a person, please just add {{NameSort}} to the bottom of a page, and for titles of stories, add {{TitleSort}}. On this wiki, the category sort key is for extraordinary circumstances only. If you want to know whether you have encountered an extraordinary circumstance, please ask an admin.
