Monster High Wiki:Categories

There are many categories in use on the to make finding, retrieving, and managing articles, files, templates, and even categories themselves easier. All categories are subcategories of the root category: Browse, which is therefore the only category on this wiki that is categorized as part of itself.

All categories together form a plan to bring structure to the content of the wiki. If a user has an idea for a new category or category type, they are to contact an admin to create one, though preferably after they've thought about the ways the new category or categories would affect the current organization. Users who have extensive knowledge of categories and a clear vision on the proposed new category or categories may create them on their own, but asking permission and/or feedback beforehand is STRONGLY recommended. The same rules apply to editing existing categories, with the added note that vandalism of categories results in severe consequences.

What are categories?
Wiki categories are special pages that bring together articles with similar content. For instance, Characters contains all the articles on characters and subcategories that list specific groups of characters. The data in categories is usually limited to a small explanation of the category's purpose and its own category/ies. Getting pages in a category is done through the pages themselves. The categories automatically list all pages sent their way by numbers and then alphabet, taking the pages' titles as cue. If another order is desired, one can write, instead of or. The first adjustment sets the page all in front of the category, which is a place reserved for the 'core' pages that deserve a separate spage in teh category. The second adjustment sets the page at, in this case, the letter "A" position in the list, even if the page's title doesn't start with "A". Note that these adjustments are difficult to make in Visual mode but easy in Source mode.

If one wishes to refer to a category without putting a page in that category, place a colon in front like so: Category:X
