Help:Categories

Categories are the central functioning unit of [[Category:Official Encyclopedia]]. Almost every article on the Wiki should be added to this one category.

Articles will also be added to subcategories of [[Category:Official Encyclopedia]]. All of these subcategories are added to Official Encyclopedia by adding [[Category:Official Encyclopedia]] to their wikitext. Each article should be added to at least one subcategory of [[Category:Official Encyclopedia]] and one of its own subcategories. This will help us avoid atrophy of content as readers progress through the "category tree".

Before proposing new categories, we should imaginine what categories our encyclopaedia may need to use in the future. For example, if we have one book review, and this looks like becoming a regular feature, book reviews should be a category. Not all of the categories listed below necessarily exist. To see if a category does exist, please check Special:Categories, adding [[Category:Official Encyclopedia]] to greenlinked (inactive) cats to activate them.

Rationale:

Proposed cats are listed below in groups for easy insertion.

A category is appropriate for an article if the article contains relevant material and its name would look sensible in the category. Unless mentioned (as with "General"), the first category on the cut/paste list is a subcategory of OE and the following ones are its own subcategories:

Archival and/or Essay System (these are not part of the encyclopedia):

Any page which goes in these two cat systems will not be added to other categories, e.g. encyclopedia.

[[Category:Archival]] is the root, which has a simple subcategory structure based on a few parameters. Archivists will be familiar with this:

[[Category:Archival: Lists of Archived Material‎]][[Category:Archival: Magazines: INSERT NATIONALITY]][[Category:Archival: Magazines: GL‎]][[Category:Archival: Magazines: Nongendered‎]][[Category:Archival: Magazines: Online‎]][[Category:Archival: Magazines: Whole]][[Category:Archival: Miscellaneous‎]][[Archival: Papers and Essays‎]][[Archival: Political Movement‎]][[Archival: Pre-2010 Literature Excerpts]][[Archival: Rare Books‎]][[Archival: Saved Web Content]]‎

[[Category:Essays]] again is the root of the essay system, for which the only subsequent category is [[Category:Essays: PERSON's Essays]], making this category an index by author. An essay can also be an archive if it is particularly well written, well circulated and was written before 2010.
