Hii DB 1729 I have just started editing. Pls add G Gurav in that categories and help me.. Prasupadhyay (talk) 07:16, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization works differently than you are assuming. You've been editing the wrong page. The good news is you can still do it yourself:

Go to the article Gurav. Open the edit window and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to where the categories are.
Find the category [[Category:Social groups of Maharashtra]]. Remove it and replace it with [[Category:Brahmin communities of Maharashtra]].

Go to the page Category:Brahmin communities of Maharashtra, and if you've done it correctly, Gurav should be displayed under G and you're done. Good luck! --DB1729 (talk) 13:09, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Hello. Regarding this recent edit of yours [1], I noticed you attempted to add items directly to a category page.

In Wikipedia, we do not add articles to a category by editing the category page, we add them by editing the individual articles' pages and linking the category from there. For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system. Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists; in fact, they are not lists at all. Categories are navigation aids. They are merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.

To categorize a page, you must go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories, first making sure the page actually belongs to the category.

Please read Wikipedia:Categorization and Help:Category for more information and clarification.

Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Thank you and have a great day! DB1729 (talk) 05:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
