Hi Support,

I have installed Mediawiki 1.23 in my Linux machine. I would like to add subcategories and which should show similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%3aContents (means in alphabetical order). After adding subcategories, I hope I will be able to add different KB's as shown in the above URL.

Please assist.

Thank You

See Help:Categories. You can categorize pages, as well as categories. Categorizing a category page will make it a subcategory.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I have gone through the details in the URL : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories, however I couldn't able to create "categories" in my Mediawiki page.

Please see the snapshot of my Mediawiki main page here : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=es2mvq&s=8#.VAWkkSQZUb8 and let me know how should I add the test KB posts (you can see it in that snapshot itself : Test KB and Test12 KB) to a category. Let me know the steps to create a category and the steps to link these two test KB posts to the category.

Thank You.
