When you return to WMUK WIki pages you will find that there is a facility for adding, changing or removing categories at the bottom of the page. This means that you can work on categories without going in to edit mode. You will also find that ''Hotcat'' will offer existing categories as you start inserting a character string. This can be useful to check whether there are existing categories which could be used before starting a new category.
