Pages can be included in categories, which allow related pages to be grouped together. Examples of categories are [[:Category:Bosses]], [[:Category:Menus]], and [[:Category:2-Player Battle images]]. To include an article, image, category, or any other page inside a category, link to that category anywhere in the page (but preferably at the bottom). The link will not appear, and instead the article will be added to the category. A list of categories a page is in can be found at the bottom of the page.
