Simply select and highlight <code><nowiki>{{USA-stateCategoryHeader}}</nowiki></code>, copy (<tt>Ctrl-c</tt> on your keyboard), and then paste (<tt>Ctrl-v</tt>) it at the <u>top</u> of the [[edit box]] of all categories of states of the USA listed here on WikiIndex, and then save your [[edit]].  Further descriptive text can be added immediately following the template code (leave two spaces, or two carriage returns); such as its official abbreviation, who it shares borders with (land borders with other states and / or countries, and maritime borders to water bodies), its capital [[:Category:City|city]], significant tourist or World Heritage features (which might have their own wiki), and any other notable information.  If you are not familiar with this latter information, simply add <code>{{Template|Category-stub}}</code> in addition to this template, so as to prompt other [[editor]]s to add required information.
