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 tags 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 Topics", which is the highest level.
