I'm not much further along than you, but here's what I found. This seems to be the cleanest most direct help page to understand categories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Categories

After reading that help page, I suggest finding several accepted articles that are similar to yours. Then go to the bottom of those accepted pages and copy to your article the exact format that they have used for their categories.

That's all I can suggest, but I'm happy to look and learn with you if needed.

Good luck,
Lori

Thanks Availle. Shorter book links are much easier on the eyes. If you have a similar shortcut for the book links, let me know.

Linked on: 2/23/21
Note: Someone added code that linked directly to the book, not to all iterations of the book. I replaced it with the correct template.
If I knew who posted the original link I could provide them with the correct template, but I don't. So let me direct them to the Wikipedia Links wiki for further instructions on the templates now being used, and post these for comparison.
INCORRECT: * {{librivox book | title=Mildred Keith | author=Martha FINLEY}}
CORRECT: * {{librivox book | title= Mildred's Married Life | author=Martha Finley }}

It would really help if you'd post this in the working thread under the post in question. However, I used the link provided by the MC which said it was directly to the book, and created that link back to the book. If there is a series, I would need that link to be provided.

OK - I didn't realise you were just using the BC's link - I'll do some thinking. (The references on that page need a tidy up I noticed but that isn't us )
We will have 6 books in the Mildred series soon - I was a bit worried that if we added 6 links Wikipedia would object, There must be a way.
