Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Determiner Forms/reply

Categories are pages just like any other, except that they can also have a list of other pages (and more categories) in them. So if a category doesn't exist yet, you can just create it.

We have a set of templates (in Category:Category boilerplate templates) that should be used to automatically fill in the contents of category pages. That way you don't need to remember what to put in each one, and things are automatically the same in every language. For most categories which begin with the language name, like Category:Macedonian determiner forms, you use the template. It is very easy to use; you just give it two parameters, the language code and the name of the category (without the language name in front). So like this:. If you create the category and put that on it, it should be ok.

Sometimes the category name is not recognised by the template (because nobody has created a category with such a name before). If you use the templates on those, then they will show an error message. This error is not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that the template doesn't recognise the name and doesn't know what to do. In this case, you will have to either add the category name to the list of recognised names yourself (which is a bit technical) or manually write the contents of the category instead of using the template. If you need help with either of these things, please ask me.
