Categorization

edit

The main article is Wikipedia:Categorization

  • Categorize!
    • Every Wikipedia page should belong to at least one category.
  • Subcategorize!
    • If logical membership of one category implies logical membership of a second, then the first category should be made a subcategory (directly or indirectly) of the second.
    • There is one top-level category, Category:Contents. All other categories are found below this. Hence every category apart from this top one must be a subcategory of at least one other category.
    • Many subcategories have two or more parent categories.
    • A page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category.
  • Create categories:
    • To create a category, edit the article page and add the category of the article: e.g. [[Category:The category name here]].
    • To create the relationship to a parent category click on the red link. Add an appropriate parent category name to the foot of the new category page.
    • See also HotCat and < categorytree >

Citations

A "Notes" section is the footnotes section updated automatically by the reflist template using the ref tags in the article.

A "References" section is a list of sources that supports content, but is not linked to any particular piece of material in the article through an inline citation. They are usually sorted by the last name of the author or the editor.
