A category is just like an article.  If you want to have an entry be in a new category, just do it.

Then click on the category link from your article, and type some text in the edit page so that it'll work.

The only tricky part is that once you've saved the new category, you have to log out and back in again in order for it to work for you, otherwise you'll keep getting sent back to the edit page.

You guys should really read the user's guide, it's all in there...

I did read it, I didn't find it anywhere.

How do you create just a new category without creating a new entry?

How do you delete a category?

I think categories only exist if an article claims to be a member of that category.  Maybe if you remove all references to it, it goes away?

How can a category exist if there are no articles in it?

"Enties" and "People:" are listed as categories because there is some article somewhere that claims to be in those categories.  

I removed them by finding the articles that had the typos.  Lucy Lane had a line that read [[Category:Enties]] and another article had [[Category:People:]].  Once these were both corrected, the categories disappeared.
