 * Choosing a name
   * Prefer concise names
   * Use the singular form (yes, even though many existing categories do not)
   * Use !WikiNames, but don't add arbitrary capital letters (''!SuitableName'', not ''!SuitAbleName'' or ''suitable_name'')

Categories

Categories are a non-hierarchical means to organize information in this wiki. They should not be used in place of namespaces, but in addition to them (think of categories as a way to add tags to your pages).

As a rule of thumb:

  • You should organize pages in namespaces when there is a clear hierarchy of pages1

  • When there is no clear hierarchy, or if you need to place a page in a specific namespace, use categories2

Adding a category

  • All categories need to be in the namespace Category

  • Before adding a new category, look at the existing ones and make sure that no other category is suitable for you
  • Choosing a name
    • Prefer concise names
    • Use the singular form (yes, even though many existing categories do not)

    • Use WikiNames, but don't add arbitrary capital letters (SuitableName, not SuitAbleName or suitable_name)
