Hi, I'm JJ. I'm and Massachusetts resident transplanted from San Francisco, California. My main wikimedia interest is to disseminate digitized books, photos, and data from projects I have worked on for the GLAM community. I'm a librarian, dog mama, and nature lover. Drop by any time to leave me a message on my talk page!

How to link to a category without categorizing the page
Category links don't work like other links. Instead, they go invisible and put the page in the category specified. For example, if you write a message that says I think [[Category:Living people]] would be appropriate", it will appear as "I think would be appropriate" and the talk page you wrote the message on will be added to the Living people category. The link disappeared!
Sometimes it is useful to provide links to categories, such for listing categories on portals, or when you are discussing categories.
To make category links work like normal links, add a colon after the opening brackets. Then "I think [[:Category:Living people]] would be appropriate", appears as "I think Category:Living people would be appropriate".
