I am pretty much a novice with civil war categories (obviously set up by a Yankee -- since there would be a category for "War of Northern Aggression" -- a jest, really). 

Here is the category page for Civil war confederates link:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:US_Civil_War#Confederacy_.28Rebels.29

I don't believe, after reading through several of the military categories, that there is a category "KIA" for the civil war. Try removing that from the category name to get that particular category to be acceptable to WikiTree.

I'm still getting the hang of categories here, but I think you want [[Category: American Civil War, KIA, Confederate]].  That seems to be the existing structure.  I'm not positive that is correct, but I tried it and it seems to work. Hopefully that is right

This is the category page for the above
