This thread is meant to inform people of the policy for categories in articles. Previously it was never officially mentioned how our category policy worked. Now I am making this thread to do just that.

This will mostly be about how and where to link an article to a category that has subcategories. Well it is pretty simple. First off we must determine what the main category is. It is the category that links into the Content category. Every article that fits into one of the main categories listed in the content category should be linked to them. Example: All character articles must be linked to the Characters category.

Now, many of the main categories have subcategories. Like how the Apparel category has the Armor category and the Jewelry category. Any article that fits into one of those two subcategories should go in both the Apparel category and the respective subcategory. That is how they should be linked. To the main category and to its respective subcategories that the article fits into.

Now, if a main category's subcategories has subcategories. Like for example the Characters category's subcategory Characters by Races category having subcategories for all the respective races, like the Nords category. In those cases you don't add an article to the Characters by Races category, you add it only to the Nords category and the main category, that being the Characters category. Another example: All undead characters that are vampires should only be added to the Vampires category, not that and the Undead Category.

Understand? Any questions please leave them down bellow.
