Hello CatsPaw13. The category Platypus was talking about means, on each new page of your story, you will add <nowiki>[[Category:Your Story Name]]</nowiki> (Please make sure you change "Your Story Name" to the actual name of your story). It should be the same for every page that you create for that story.
 +
 +
As for the question of which category, that depends what material you will put in it. Think of it like movies. Family Friendly = G, PG-13 is, well, PG-13, Mature = R, Adult = NC-17.

I realize all that.  I know -now- to add a the category at the bottom, in fact I think Platypus fixed the pages that were missing it for me.
 +
 +
I also know more or less what content gets what rating.  However, I do not know which category my story is in.  Currently it contains no particularly adult content, but is it ok for me to add some? To put it another way, if I add adult content will my story suddenly BECOME adult?

P.S. It is better to respond on the user talk page of the person you are responding to, not in your own page because they may not know you responded. In this case, [[User talk:DirtyMeStoryTime]], then I will see you left me a message. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 03:46, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Got it. Basically, if a story you are editing is already in a category, one you didn't originally create, then you need to keep it in that category. If you put in things in a story you created that cause it to fit into a different category, then you can just remove it from the old one and put it in the new one. For example: You create a story that fits into the "Mature" category, and decide you want to describe an adult scene, so it becomes an adult story. You just remove it from the [[All Mature Stories]] page and put it in the [[All Adult Stories]] page. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 03:44, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello again Catspaw13. I just looked around your [[The Unicorn and the Raven]] story and noted a couple things. I notice it is not listed on any of the story pages. Just wanted to mention, you are less likely to have people view it without it listed. You might want to put it on one of the index's. Remember, you can always move it to a different index if you decide you don't like your rating. I also notice you have many The Unicorn and the Raven/something as options. To me it seems rather ugly. It is your choice of course, but if you want to remove the The Unicorn and the Raven/ thing from the beginning of every option, you can do it like <nowiki>[[The Unicorn and the Raven/Option|Option]]</nowiki>. In this case, all you will see in the option is what is after the |, not everything. It helps make it look cleaner. But, this is just my opinion, you don't need to if you prefer to leave it similar to a tree. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 03:54, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Please make sure to include the title of the story as a category on each page you post. If you don't know how to add categories, please review the Tutorial, especially Basic page format.--Platypus 00:59, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Second warning. Uncategorized pages will be edited or deleted.--Platypus 01:11, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Your Q, and A

Hello CatsPaw13. The category Platypus was talking about means, on each new page of your story, you will add [[Category:Your Story Name]] (Please make sure you change "Your Story Name" to the actual name of your story). It should be the same for every page that you create for that story.

As for the question of which category, that depends what material you will put in it. Think of it like movies. Family Friendly = G, PG-13 is, well, PG-13, Mature = R, Adult = NC-17.
