WikiIndex:How do categories work
From WikiIndex
(Redirected from How do categories work)
if you wish to additionally categorize the article beyond it's "main topic". This additional command may be used in the description area or in a separate area under the description titled "Additional Categories"
Examples:
Overall
- Add relevant categories (tags) to articles; try to be consistent and use CamelCase where there are multiple words such as "ProgrammingLanguages"
- As categories are added, category articles will naturally appear in the Wanted Pages section; create these articles as needed. Also, if these articles are subordinate to larger categories, categorize them appropriately. i.e. the category "Lisp" should be a subcategory of "ProgrammingLanguages" and hence when you create the category "Lisp", categorize that article in "ProgrammingLanguages"
- Top level categories should be categorized to "Wiki Topic", which is the highest level. From time to time, the Wiki Index page will require manual updating of the high level categories.
- A list of every category used at WikiIndex -- whether or not its article has been "created", much less whether that category has been properly categorized -- is at Special:Categories.
