Either you have done this or I have, but there seems to be a redirect now. Perhaps you do have the permission! | |||

Trying to "move" or redirect

I was unable to create a redirect:
From (Category: Page to be created later) Free Elvis

Categories / sub categories
Nick: For "Singles" we only have the category "Singles"
For the image files I have uploaded (and generally) I am thinking of categorising as:
7" Singles 10" Singles 12" singles CD singles Cassette singles
Where multiple entries exist on a page, I would leave it as just "singles" but (particularly for individual images) I would want to create the above categories.
a) Is that a good idea? b) How do I create a new category? c) Is it possible to have a hierarchy of categories where all the above are a sub category of "Singles"?
