User blog:BunsenH/How to Remove Categories

For a variety of reasons, sometimes a wiki page ends up with unwanted categories. This is how you can delete them. The procedure depends on which editor you're using to edit the page.

Visual Editor
If you're using the Visual Editor, when you edit the page, beside the "Cancel" button at the top of the editing window is a drop-down list item showing three horizontal bars. One of the items in that drop-down list is "Categories". Click on it to open the Categories tab in the window. From that item, you can select each of the categories to edit, or to delete using the little garbage-can icon at the top right of the list. 

Classic Editor
If you're using the "Classic" editor, when you edit the page, on the right side of the page part-way down is a "Categories" item. As you mouse over each of the categories, a tiny garbage-can icon appears at its right. Click on that icon, and the category goes away. 

Source Editor
If you're using either version of the Source editor, it's easy to delete a category. Find the text with the "Category:" item (usually at the bottom of the page), and delete it.
