I think you just add a page called CategoryFoo (which can be based on
CategoryTemplate), then add the following two lines at the bottom of
the wiki page you want to add to the category:


----
CategoryFoo


(I'm not sure if the ---- is necessary and I didn't experiment, but it
seems to be a good pattern to follow.)

The equivalent for a reST page would seem to be:


----

`CategoryFoo`_


However, while that links to the category page fine, the page isn't
linked back from CategoryFoo. It seems that Moin doesn't grok category
links from reST pages:
