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]].

== Subcategorization ==
 
Subcategories may have two or more parent categories. For example, [[:Category:Riverblossom Hills families]] should be in both [[:Category:Families from 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.
