I've seen some occurrences of people linking to a category with external links, and not local links. I just want to make it clear that it is possible to link to a category by placing a semicolon in front of the category. For example,

[[:Category:Town Roles]]
Will work, whereas

[[Category:Town Roles]]
Will not, and instead will categorize the article as a Town Role.
Keep this in mind, as its always better and cleaner to use local links than external links.
