"are category sections not allowed in sandboxes, and if not, why not? Header pretty much sums it up. cheers Tarkiwi25 (talk) 00:42, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
You'll find advice at WP:Categorization#User pages. - David Biddulph (talk) 07:37, 18 August 2019 (UTC) @Tarkiwi25: In a word, no. I'm assuming you're drafting an article in your sandbox and want to be ready wuth the right categories for when it goes into mainspace? The last thing we want is for multiple, half-finished drafts appearing in Category listings (I've made that mistakes in the past). But you can inactivate the categorisation by adding a colon immediately after the opening pair of square brackets Category:New Zealand. This keeps the link working, but doesnt include your page. Once live, just delete the colons. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:41, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
You can also use the draft categories template, which makes the categories show up on the page like they normally would, but prevents the draft from appearing in the category listings. You can do that by copying and pasting this and putting it at the end of your article:

Wikipedia articles are composed and formatted according to the Manual of Style (MOS). MOS sets the house standard on Wikipedia for attributes like link formatting, capitalization, punctuation, and sections. MOS includes guidelines for biographies, citations, titles, dates and numbers, proper names, and many other stylistic details. Some examples of the elements of style in the MOS are:
To place the MOS template at the right on your User page for easy reference, edit your User page and copy/paste: Please follow the MOS guidelines when you update an article. – – Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use
