Hi Stuffnut, thank you for asking questions :)

So technically you can type in categories to a page, but that doesn't actually create a page for the category itself. If you go up in the search bar, and search for "Category:Literature" nothing will show up. So if you remove the category you typed in for Bork's Papers and also, the one you entered (but didn't actually create) will just disappear. It's kind of confusing :/  Took me a while to realize what was going on!

In order to remove the "Literature" category you typed in, go to the page edit screen. No changes to the page are needed, but go to the side bar boxes on your right. The bottom box should have a Category heading (you might have to scroll) and underneath the heading is another box that lists the actual categories for that page. Just hover over the one you want to delete and a pencil and a trashcan should appear. Click on the trash can to delete, then save the page by clicking "Publish", also on the right side.

If this doesn't make sense, let us know what you are seeing on the edit page. I think the screen is fairly standard across platforms, but not 100% sure about that.

Hope this helps!
