How to crosslink
If you type [http://www.drugrehabwiki.com/wiki/Drug_rehab Drug Rehab] you will get Drug Rehab - so the structure is basically square bracket, the url you want to link to or create, space, the linked words you want to have, closed square bracket.
You can also make up a new link for a nonexistent article, save it, then you can click that "nonexistent" link and it will give you the option of creating the new page.
For internal cross-linking and page creation you can also use [[Drug rehab]]. However, it has to be in the same format as the actual way the page was created (avoid this for now)

Categories
Putting an item in a category
A page in any namespace can be put in a category by adding a category tag to the page (by convention, at the end of the page), e.g.:
[[Category:Category name]]
You must substitute the actual name of your desired category in place of Category name. For example, to add an article called "Albert Einstein" to the category "People", you would edit the Albert Einstein article and add "[[Category:People]]" (no quotes) into its page source somewhere.
This will cause the article to be automatically listed on the associated category page, and it will also create a link in the article to the category page. Category pages are always in the namespace "Category". Pages can be included in more than one category by adding multiple category tags. These links do not appear at the location where you inserted the tag, but at the page margin in a fixed place, depending on the skin (the bottom for MonoBook, the upper right corner for Standard).
Category tags may be placed anywhere in the article, although they are typically added to the end of the article to avoid undesirable text display side effects. Wikipedia policy specified that category tags should be put after the article text, but before any interlanguage links.
Category links are displayed in the order they occur in the article, unlike the automatic ordering of lists in the category pages themselves (see below).
