Manual:Categories

From eagle-rock.org

John Eagles:
Add one or more category to each file that you upload, and to each page that you make. Use main categories for bringing structure in this wiki, and also use other categories that may be less structured.
List of categories shows the MAIN categories that i am using.

Categories are made by adding

    [[Category:Gardening]]

at the bottom of a page (for the category 'Gardening').
It doesn't matter where you put the category code in a page, but for cleanless of your editing page, please put it at the bottom.
To add other categories, simply add a new line, for example

    [[Category:Trees]]

If you want to the category 'Trees' to be a subcategory of the category 'Gardening' then simply add

    [[Category:Gardening]]

to the page that was generated for the Category:Trees.

The software automatically generates pages with alphabetical lists of all subcategories and pages in a category.
See: Special pages>Lists of pages>Categories.

Main rules

  • DO NOT FORGET TO ADD CATEGORIES TO ALL UPLOADED FILES AND IMAGES!!!
  • The general rule is to apply the main categories in a systematic manner, and to apply other categories whenever applicable.
  • To keep categories organized, sometimes go to the list of categories in special pages, and go to files with unusual categories, and change those into more useful categories.
  • Always apply at least one category to each new page or file!
