	Hey Banangecko, Welcome to the Wiki! Categories can be added manually to pages by using <nowiki>[[Category:name]]</nowiki> (see [[Chick]] on how the Animal category is added by using this block). Alternatively, categories can also be applied through Templates (like how it has been for [[Drinking Fountain]]) - where the use of [[Template:Structurebox]] to structure it's info box on the side of the page also automatically applies the Structures category, as it has been defined through the Template. Ideally, try to use Categories that already exist as creating additional categories causes more pages to be created but may not necessary add any value (unless you believe otherwise). You can see a searchable list of categories at [[Special:Categories]] - Hope this helps explain how the categories are added. -[[User:Melissa\|Melissa]] ([[User talk:Melissa\|talk]]) 13:58, 15 August 2025 (CDT)		Hey Banangecko, Welcome to the Wiki!

			Sorry also forgot to mention - the furniture button the main page is just a page where someone has created a table and manually inputted items into it. I don't believe the Furniture category has been used much through the wiki, being applied to picture more than other pages. -[[User:Melissa\|Melissa]] ([[User talk:Melissa\|talk]]) 14:03, 15 August 2025 (CDT)

Aug 15 2025 - I am pretty unfamiliar with how mediawiki works, I'm curious how categories are to be attatched at the bottom of this page and how to link this to the main page under furniture category. Any help would be appreciated - Banangecko
