Categories are added in the Visual Editor by clicking the [[wikipedia:Help:VisualEditor#Editing categories|3 horizontal bars]] to the left of the "Save changes..." button and selecting "Categories". In markdown mode, add the text <code><nowiki>[[Category:<category-name>]]</nowiki></code> anywhere on the page. For stylistic reasons, it should be at the very bottom.

== Permissions ==

While few in number, there are a couple of permissions that are not given to all users:

* '''Administrator''' — Numerous additional functions for easy site administration. Most notably include blocking users, protecting pages, and deleting pages and logs from public visibility.

* '''Bureaucrat''' — Can assign and revoke permissions, edit user accounts, and create new accounts.

* '''Interface administrator''' — Can edit pages which dictate the look of the website (e.g [[MediaWiki:Editnotice-0-War game rules]], which dictates the message shown to all editors that edit that page) and import pages from other MediaWiki instances to this wiki.

For an exhaustive list of all user permissions, and what each permission can explicitly do, see [[Special:ListGroupRights]].

Any user with an account may request one of the above from Sirdog of whom may approve or deny such requests at his discretion. Those with prior history editing Wikimedia projects are considerably more likely to receive such permissions, though the biggest factor is level of editing activity, knowledge of wiki construction, and willingness to learn.

Fleff, due to his nature as the gamemaster and curator of the game this wiki is dedicated too, is entitled to all above permissions at his request. He is also capable of vetoing any request for advanced permissions and ordering the disabling of any user's account, along with directing that any advanced permissions an editor has being revoked.
