Trouble linking categories

I tried to link the text at the end of the opening sentence to the Ultima Underworld category, since there is no page for the series, but it wouldn't let me do it. Not sure how. Not that a page for the series would be a bad idea.

I can think of a few topics that would be relevant. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 11:00, 17 March 2017 (MDT)

Adding a link to a category is done by preceding it with a colon, like this [[:Category:Ultima Underworld]]. However, as you noted, there is no common page for the series. I created a new category for both games, Category:Underworld Series. You can link to it directly or use this template, {{Underworld}}, which shows

Cool. Is Ultima Underworld III not included because it was shelved? The Ultra-Mind (talk) 11:38, 21 March 2017 (MDT)

Mostly just because I forgot about it. I don't know that we usually link up cancelled games, but if you want to add it to the Underworld Series category, I'd be fine with it. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 07:37, 23 March 2017 (MDT)

I guess there are reasons for and against. For is obvious: what are we going to put it in? Worlds of Ultima? On the other hand, people are often tempted to make generalizations about the entire UU series, because it relates to the first 2, neglecting the 3rd. Maybe if we could have "Ultima Underworld III (cancelled)". I don't exactly know how to do that on the series page. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 17:42, 23 March 2017 (MDT)
