How to categorize an article

On World Anvil, categories are organizational units that contain articles. They also make up your world’s Table of Contents on the homepage. If you'd like to categorize an article or change the category or article that it is under, follow these steps.

 
  1. Access the article manager by clicking Articles & Categories in the left sidebar.
  2. Find the article you'd like to categorize on the list in the middle of the page, and click on its title.
  3. On the right, a new panel will open with options to quickly edit the article. Find the ''Contained in Category/Article'' field.
  4. Click on the pencil icon to add the article under one of your categories or articles. Simply start typing in the name of that category or article and select it.
  5. Click on the red icon to remove the category or article that your selected article is under.
 

Second way

 
  1. Head to your article's full edit page.
  2. Click on the Navigation tab on the top menu bar.
  3. There, you can choose a category or a parent article to place it under from the dropdown menus.
 

An article CANNOT have a category and a parent article. Setting a parent article will remove it from any category!
