Pretty much title. If I enter an invite only giveaway from the forums for a game, will that game show up (with me already entered) in my wishlist or recommeneded category?

Yes, they can show up in "Recommended". Wishlist is only for games wishlisted on Steam

the recommended category is based on the community wishlist and games you enter the most https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/Wc29KU5

unless you meant if the giveaway shows up in the homepage... then no.
it will show up in your enter giveaways.

This is what I'm asking.

I use my "reccommended" as a simple way to enter/exit giveaways. So Sometimes I'll be entered in a giveaway that doesn't end for say, 3 days. Meanwhile something pops up that ends in 2 hours and I don't have any points.

So I'll go to reccomended, find a giveaway that's still days out that I'm entered in, leave it, and enter the closer giveaway.

Can invite only giveaways appear here?

Say Doom is in my reccomended queue and I happen to enter an invite only Doom giveaway from the forums. Will that Doom giveaway appear in my recommended queue where I could potentially accidentely leave it?

I don't know the answer, but it seems it would be not difficult to test.

private giveways aren't listed under any category in the homepage. they are meant to be shared by their creator, so you will only have access to them if you see a link in the forums or similar.

Yes, every game you enter giveaway for will eventually show up in the "Recommended " section.
Tried, tested , and most importantly, regretted.
