Subcategories may have two or more parent categories. For example, [[:Category:FamiliesRiverblossom inHills Seasonsfamilies]] should be in both [[:Category:Families in Seasons]] and [[:Category:PremadeFamilies familiesby 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.
 
A category may be diffused using several coexisting schemes; for example, [[:Category:Sims]] is broken down by age, by state, by gender etc. Metacategories may be created as ways of organizing schemes of subcategories. For example, the subcategories called "''life stage'' Sims" are not placed directly into Category:Sims, but into the metacategory [[:Category:Sims by age]], which itself appears in Category:Sims.

[[Help:Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] work on category pages just as they do for articles, and can be used to link to corresponding categories on other language Wikias.
