Use the page [[Special:Categories]] to see a list of categories. There is a link to it in the '''sidebar''' on the left side of every page under 'Quick Links'.

Follow a category link in the list of categories to see all the articles (pages) in that category, organized alphabetically.
How you pick the categories is up to you. Be careful to choose reasonable categories that make sense for the subject matter in the wiki. There's no point in having each article in it's own category, or in having all articles in the same category. Use the category mechanism to help divide up the wiki for easier searching.
