Making a category is mostly like making any other page. When you click "Add a Page" under the "Contribute" tab in the upper right, it will ask you for a title. Where normally you would just type the page name (e.g., "Commander Hero"), to make a category, you add "Category:" before whatever you're calling it. For example, you would enter "Category:Articles by ThePrinceOfTheNorth" (without the quotes), and it would make it a category page.

Remember that categories need to be categorized themselves. Articles by author has its own category, which would be the appropriate one for the above example.

Also remember, per the Categorization policy, you can make one master "Articles by ThePrinceOfTheNorth" category, but not sub-categories. So no "Category:Jedi created by ThePrinceOfTheNorth", "Category:Clone troopers created by ThePrinceOfTheNorth", etc.
