How to use categories
This wiki is using a very flexible but simple categorizing system to keep everything properly organized.
1. Adding a page to an existing category
To
add a page to an existing category simply add a link to the relevant category page. For example, to mark page
MyPage as a child of category
MyCategory, just add a link to
MyCategory from
MyPage. This will automatically add
MyPage to the list of pages belonging to that category. Category links are put by convention at the end of the page, but the position of these links does not affect their behavior.
2. Adding a subcategory to an existing category
To
create a hierarchy of categories, you can follow the same instructions to add pages to categories. For example, to mark category
Category2 as a child (or subcategory) of another category
Category1, just add a link to
Category1 in
Category2. This will automatically add
Category2 to the list of
Category1's children.
3. Creating new categories
To
start a new category just create a page containing
{{category}}. This will mark the page as a special
category page and will output a list of pages belonging to the category. Category page names start by convention with the word
Category but you can also create categories without following this convention. To add a new category to the master list of categories just add a link from it to
CategoryCategory.
4. Browsing categories
To
browse the categories available on your wiki you can start from
CategoryCategory. If all pages and subcategories are properly linked as described above, you will be able to browse the whole hierarchy of categories starting from this page.
