This page documents an official eRepublik Wiki policy. |
Wiki pages are categorized to link similar pages together and to organize the wiki. The list of categories can be found here: Special:Categories.
Guidelines
- All pages require a category. If you have questions on what category a page should be in, please review the category list.
- Category tags should be placed at the bottom of the article[1]
- Categories should be in English
- The only exception should be language name categories, where only category of the language is allowed. Example: Andycro/Hrvatski
Party categories can be created if there are more than three pages in the category. These categories should have the following categories [[Category:People of Country]] and [[Category:Party Members]]. This decision was changed in October 2010[2] so this is not allowed any more.- All categories should be further subcategorized. Please review other similar categories for help.
- Many categories have a hierarchy. For example: Category:United States of America has subcategories Category:People of USA, Category:Parties of USA. The Parties category has a subcategory of its own Category:Historical Parties of USA.
- Pages only need the category of the lowest subcategory. For example, a historical party of USA only needs that category, because that category is a sub of parties which is a sub of the country.
- Create new categories with extreme caution. If the category hasn't been created at this point, there is probably a reason why.
Questions
If you have any questions on proper categorization, please contact the sysops or make a note on the Bar.
