Hi Amy, no, I'm not on a team. I'm just a category liason person for two projects, one of which asked me to clean up some category errors. Learning as I go, I'm afraid, but at least I'm going back over to fix my mistakes as I figure them out. Maybe I should leave it to y'all.

Instructions are not clear. Won't adding a project box cause another error? Why not direct to the page of CIBs instead, and maybe add some guidance on which one would be appropriate?

You're not adding a project box. Where does it say that?

How odd. The instructions are different now. What it did say was to add Template:Project Category which in that format I interpreted to mean project box.
