Add a command to the article of the format:
{{tag|subject}}
or this, which is synonymous:
{{category|subject}}
if you wish to additionally categorize the article beyond it's "main topic". This additional command may be used in the description area or in a separate area under the description titled "Additional Categories"
Examples:
Overall
- Add relevant categories (tags) to articles; try to be consistent and use CamelCase where there are multiple words such as "ProgrammingLanguages"
- As categories are added, category articles will naturally appear in the wanted article section; create these articles as needed. Also, if these articles are subordinate to larger categories, categorize them appropriately. i.e. the category "Lisp" should be a subcategory of "ProgrammingLanguages" and hence when you create the category "Lisp", categorize that article in "ProgrammingLanguages"
- Top level categories should be categorized to "Wiki Topic", which is the highest level.
