Help:Category

Welcome to the help page for Category.

A category is used to categorize articles by a certain theme.

All existing categories in WikiRaider can be found here: Special:Categories

To add a certain article to any category, go to the end of the article (not necessary, but a rule in WikiRaider to keep it clean) and add the category link: [[Category:$NameoftheCategory]]

When categorizing articles it sometimes makes sense to change the sorting order.

• Names should be sorted "family name" first. To achieve this the category link should be as follows:

[[Category:$CategoryName|$family_name $given_name]] (example: [[Category:Characters|Croft Lara]] in the article for Lara Croft)

• Sometimes disambiguation pages are sorted into the same category as the articles they direct to.

• The most prominent example is the main article for a category. (The article of the same name as the category) To separate the main article from the rest, set the category link as follows:

[[Category:$CategoryName| ]] for the article called $CategoryName. (example: [[Category:Enemies| ]] in the article for Enemies)

• If other disambiguation pages, besides the main article for a category, are to be separated from the rest, one can use a number of characters just like the "space" for the main article.

The following characters can be used to sort articles in a category, in exactly this order:

• !
• #
• $
• '
• *
• +
• -

(exampel: [[Category:Enemies|#]] in the article for Human Opponents)
