@Tesfalem Atnafu: Hi. It seems there is no Wikipedia article on the subject Mattu University so it is impossible to add it to any category page. However, it is listed at List of universities and colleges in Ethiopia.

The way the category system works is the category must be added to the article, then the article automatically appears back at the category page. This way, only existing WP articles appear in the category, which helps navigation for the reader. That's what categories are essentially. They are navigational aids. They are not intended to be exhaustive lists. We have list articles like List of universities and colleges in Ethiopia for that, and indeed, as mentioned above, Mattu University is listed on that page!:)

Hope this helps in your understanding of the situation. --DB1729^talk 13:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the response. Could you please help us in the publication of Mattu University on the Wikipedia page. I am working under the University Internalization directorate.

I'm afraid that's not at all my strength. I have never created an article and have done very little content creation in general, so I probably wouldn't be much help. I mostly just do minor improvements: updates, categorization, spelling, fixing links to wrong pages, occasional vandalism reverts, etc...gnomish-type work.
