	~~== Wysiwyg editor<br> ==~~		Categories group related pages. Each page can belong to zero or more categories. For example, this page belongs to the category "[[:Category:Help]]". Categories contain an index of pages in its category.

	To add ~~an article~~ to ~~a category type the category name in the field ''Category Assignment'' the wiki engine will show all~~ categories ~~matching your category name~~.~~<br>~~		== How to add pages to categories? ==
			There are multiple ways to add pages to categories.

	~~Creating~~ a new category ~~is allowed as well~~.~~<br>~~		=== Using the Category Assignment box of the page editor ===
			When editing a page, the page editor has a '''CATEGORY ASSIGNMENT''' section with a ''Categories'' box to assign categories to a page. Start typing a category name to get a list of possible matches. It is also possible to create new categories by writing the category name manually.

	=== ~~Sorting~~ ===		=== As part of the page ===
			Categories can be added directly to the page as part of the text. It is generally recommended to add categories at the '''end''' of a page, although technically categories can appear anywhere on the page.

	~~To apply a sorting name to a page enter a pipe (\|) after the category name and enter the name under which (alphabetic) order you want the page to appear in the category index.~~		==== Syntax ====
			To add a page to a category put the following text at the end of the page:
	~~<br>~~

	== ~~Wikitext editor<br>~~ ==

	To add ~~an article~~ to a category put the following at the end of the page ~~you are editing...~~

	<nowiki>[[Category:{Name}]]</nowiki>		<nowiki>[[Category:{Name}]]</nowiki>

	~~where~~ {Name} is the name of the category you want to add it to~~. Any number of category tags may be added to the page - the page will be listed in all of them~~.		Where <code><nowiki>{Name}</nowiki></code> is the name of the category you want to add it to.

	~~----~~		==== Sorting ====
			By default, pages will be sorted by their title. This can be problematic for pages inside namespaces. For example, "Help:Category" will be listed under "H" (for "Help") instead of "C" (for "Category"). This can be fixed by adding a sorting name as part of the category tag. Please note that this does not change the page title as it appears in the category. For example, this page appears under "C" (for "Category") but is still labeled "{{FULLPAGENAME}}".

	'''Important: ~~The~~ LabVIEW Wiki recommends the following notation when adding a category tag:~~'''~~		'''Important''': LabVIEW Wiki recommends the following notation when adding a category tag:

	<nowiki>[[Category:Name\|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>		<nowiki>[[Category:Name\|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>

	~~----~~		This will automatically resolve the page name. <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> is a magic word that is replaced by the page title - without namespace - automatically.

	~~You can also specify an additional {Sort} parameter that dictates where~~ the page ~~will appear, alphabetically, within the category~~. ~~This is achieved by using the following markup:~~

	<nowiki>~~[[Category:~~{~~Name~~}~~\|{Sort~~}~~]]~~</nowiki>

	~~So for example, to add this page to the 'Help' category, you would use:~~

	~~<nowiki>[[Category:Help\|Categories]]~~</~~nowiki~~>

	~~Note~~ that ~~we used 'Categories' as the sort parameter. Without this the page would be listed under 'H' for 'Help:Categories', instead of under 'C', which~~ is more useful. Other situations where you might want to use the sort parameter is when you have articles about people that are titled as <code>FirstName LastName</code> but within the category you want them listed as <code>LastName, FirstName</code>.

	~~''Note: the {sort} parameter does '''not''' affect how~~ the page title ~~is displayed within the category listing, just how it is ordered~~. ~~In the above example, the link to this page will still be 'Help:Categories', and not 'Categories' as you might expect!''~~

{{PD Help Page}}

To add an article to a category put the following at the end of the page you are editing...

<nowiki>[[Category:{Name}]]</nowiki>

where {Name} is the name of the category you want to add it to. Any number of category tags may be added to the page - the page will be listed in all of them.

You can also specify an additional {Sort} parameter that dictates where the page will appear, alphabetically, within the category. This is achieved by using the following markup:

<nowiki>[[Category:{Name}|{Sort}]]</nowiki>

So for example, to add this page to the 'Help' category, you would use:

<nowiki>[[Category:Help|Categories]]</nowiki>

Note that we used 'Categories' as the sort parameter. Without this the page would be listed under 'H' for 'Help:Categories', instead of under 'C', which is more useful. Other situations where you might want to use the sort parameter is when you have articles about people that are titled as <code>FirstName LastName</code> but within the category you want them listed as <code>LastName, FirstName</code>.

Another way to sort the article in the correct letter without the namespace is

<nowiki>[[Category:Help|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>

This is extremly helpful when using templates which include a category tag.

''Note: the {sort} parameter does '''not''' affect how the page title is displayed within the category listing, just how it is ordered. In the above example, the link to this page will still be 'Help:Categories', and not 'Categories' as you might expect!''
