Line 1: {{~~Proposed policy~~Policy\|guideline}}{{~~Policy-nav~~MoS navigation}} This page contains guidance on the proper use of the '''categorization''' function in {{SITENAME}}. For information on the mechanics of the function, category syntax, etc., see '''[[Help:Category]]'''. For the category system itself, see [[:Category:Browse]]. Line 22: Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. Every {{SITENAME}} article should belong to at least one category and it should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories. Categorize articles by characteristics of the topic, not characteristics of the article. An article about a the architecture of specific lot, for example, does not belong in [[:Category:Architecture]]. Articles on fictional subjects should not be categorized in a manner that confuses them with real subjects. For example, [[:Category:Games]] is for real life games while [[:Category:Game objects]] is the category of in-universe games. Line 36: == Subcategorization == Subcategories may have two or more parent categories. For example, [[:Category:Riverblossom Hills families]] should be in both [[:Category:Families infrom Seasons (The Sims 2)]] and [[:Category:Families by neighborhood]]. When making one category a subcategory of another, ensure that the members of the first really can be expected (with possibly a few exceptions) to belong to the second also. Category chains formed by parent-child relationships should never form closed loops. If two categories are closely related but are not in a subset relation, then links between them can be included in the text of the category pages. Although there is no limit on the size of categories, a large category will often be broken down ("diffused") into smaller, more specific subcategories. For example, [[:Category:Premade families]] is broken down by families into the subcategories [[:Category:Goths]], [[:Category:Altos]], etc. Line 105: * [[The Sims Wiki:Manual of Style]] * [[Help:Category]] ~~[[Category:Policies and guidelines\|{{PAGENAME}}]]~~
