Hi, Categories - plural of Category of course and this latter is a term/function/instruction the software that generates this wiki "understands" and makes it generate a page where all links to pages on a particular topic are gathered.

Let me explain further: category is used between 2 pairs of square brackets, like:

[square bracket Category : Budget ]]

Normally it is written without the spaces that I've just put so the software wouldn't execute the instruction. All people that add this category instruction in their pages that in this case deal with budget, tell the software that generates this wiki to generate a link which brings people to a page where all pages are listed on this wiki where that instruction is mentioned. Great for interlinking teams that work on budgets.

Some examples of results of other categories at the bottom, where they are always places by the software. When you click the edit button of this page, you'll see what the code/instruction actually looks like/how it is written.

Another interesting feature are links. This is how I use both categories and links:
