Editing Help:Categories

{{BG3Wiki sidebar}}
We use '''categories''' to organise articles on BG3Wiki; we use them to create category pages which group and list articles and other pages. To add a category to an article, simply link to it: <nowiki>Category:Example</nowiki>.

== Category names ==
It is important to name cateogires correctly. Category names should be clear, follow correct capitalisation, terminology and number conventions.
* Articles should be named clearly and umambiguously.
** They should be worded in such a way that they can be immediately understood without visiting the category itself.
** The name should be independent of any parent or child categories – it should be able to stand on its own as its own category.
* Names of categories are generally given in plural.
* Categories of lists are named using the "Category: Lists of ..." syntax, categories of sources are named using the "Category: Sources of ..." syntax.
* Categories use the same [[Help:Style_manual#Article_names|naming conventions]] and [[Help:Style_manual#Capitalisation|capitalisation guidelines]] as covered by the style manual.
* Categories of lists are named using the "Category: Lists of ..." syntax, categories of sources are named using the "Category: Sources of ..." syntax.
* Generally speaking, do not use abbreviations when naming articles.
