Links to categories

Links? I am trying to place a Bookmark on my Page to the Category of Wood Turning Tools. Toolrest sorted the category today. I can't figure out this link. I've tried many variations. All inside the double brackets. Woodturning_Tools Woodturning tools Woodturning Tools Woodworking_tools Woodworking_ Tools Woodworking Tools Woodworking tools. Etc. Any ideas? What am I missing? --stnick 21:33, 20 January 2009 (CST)

OK! I noted in the section below there were links that work to this page. Why does it need the Category:Woodturning tools phrasing and other links do not? --stnick 21:37, 20 January 2009 (CST)
All looks good on your User page. I don't understand what you mean by 'phrasing'? Are you referring to the '|Sort' that is sometimes appended to the category definition on a page? (see Help:Categories ). As for the spelling, best thing to do is copy and paste from the main heading (ie the page title). That will get it every time. Toolrest 05:23, 21 January 2009 (CST)

Time stamps

Time Stamp. I can do the button for the name & timestamp - what about just the timestamp?--stnick 21:33, 20 January 2009 (CST)

You can use three tildes to stamp just your name ( Toolrest ) or five to stamp just the time ( 05:23, 21 January 2009 (CST) ). See [1]. Why would you want to? Toolrest 05:23, 21 January 2009 (CST)

Image categories

I have uploaded some images. They are logged. I can find them, working backward from the page. They show up. See Bowl gouge. They are not showing up under Catagory:Image --stnick 23:27, 19 January 2009 (CST)

You have to edit the image page manually and add the category links just like any other page. I have done this for you on Image:BGFluteShapes.jpg. Nice drawing by the way. Toolrest 04:58, 20 January 2009 (CST)
