Done – Navigate to Usage[edit]
On the talk page of an article, use the parser function {{#pageCat:your category}}, replacing your category with the relevant category. Once the talk page is published, the page the talk page belongs to should be a member of that category.
The function should work in all namespaces, and works with templates - so you can put it in a template, then transclude that template onto a talk page, and the talk page's corresponding page will become a member of the category specified in the template. This is particularly useful for WikiProjects doing categorisation, as well as for monitoring recent changes based on a tag left on the talk page.
