You don't really "own" your pages when you post them on a wiki site. By posting them on a wiki you are exposing them to edits - that's the entire point of wikis. You can't expect to post your story on the wiki and have no one edit it without some other sort of system setup (like protected pages). I'm not saying I'm going to go about mercilessly editing your stories, I'm just saying that your expectations are a bit unreasonable given the fact that this is a wiki.

On the specific subject of adding categories: I don't think it's right for you to say that other people can't add categories to your pages. I mean, it's not like adding categories to your pages is going to have any detrimental effect on them - in fact, I don't think it's even possible for there to be a detrimental effect to adding categories. Adding categories doesn't even involve actually EDITING the page! So yeah, it's not editing the page and is thus not vandalism (unless people take it to a ridiculous extent, like adding 100 categories that don't exist to a page, but in that case it's more of a nuisance/spam occurrence and less of a vandalism occurrence.) I mean, if a page you have made doesn't have categories on it and another contributor adds categories to it you should be GRATEFUL for them to make such a kind gesture to YOUR STORIES by making them EASIER TO FIND for everyone. And if you want to add categories yourself you're going to have to get to your stories BEFORE anyone else does. That's not a threat, it's just a fact. But honestly, there shouldn't be any logical reason for you to feel against categorization. I mean, with all due respect, this is something that is done on wikis and sites the world over - everyone has to deal with it. And, furthermore, in many situations the author doesn't even have the opportunity to externally link or categorize their articles - that's left up to the site administrators.

Lastly, "on my pages" (Bard eric). I think you misunderstand, on wikis users do not "own" pages. I know I said this before but I'll say it again. You don't have any pages that are "yours" save for your user page and your talk page. It's clearly stated in the Licensing section of Wikia's terms of use here: http://www.wikia.com/Licensing. If you or any other author here on the Percy Jackson Fan Fiction wiki has a problem with this I'd suggest moving to a different site, or proposing a fork to a different host where you can create your own rules and enforce copyright laws.
