Setting up Content
New category

Create a category by searching for Category:Name, or by clicking a link to the category. Add a page to a category by including the tag
To create a link to a category, use a leading colon before the category name (without this colon, the current page would be added to the category):
Category:Help -> Category:Help
To change the link text, write the text inside the link tag after a pipe:
Help category -> Help category
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories for more information.
Change sidebar
Add the Internal pages to the mediawiki sidebar
Browse the MediaWiki:Sidebar page and edit it. Don't include the square brackets in the links.
