Categories should be neither too specific nor too broad; there's little value in having categories with three items in them, but there's also hardly a point to a category that lists half the universe's topics.
!! Linking to categories (READ THIS)
-The ramification of the previous paragraph is that in pages not belonging to a category, __you must not link__ to that category page by using its name. __Instead of writing !CategoryFoo you have to write !Category:Foo - note the extra colon.__ This creates a link to that category page without putting the linking page in its BackLinks. This means
that pages linking
to a category but not part of it
will not be backlinked from the category.
