Yogscast Wiki:Categorisation Guidelines

Categories ensure that similar pages are linked together. They should enable wiki users to easily navigate around a specific topic. This guide serves as a "best practice" for how categories should be used on this wiki.

Purpose
In the case of this wiki, categories have a dual purpose:
 * 1) Serve as a means of classification and navigation
 * 2) Define which achievement points are awarded for edits made to certain categories

This means that any article created must have at least the Highest and Lowest relevant category. The Highest ensures editors receive an achievement point for editing the article, and the lowest ensures that at minimum the page is not arbitrarily categorised.

Usage
Do include all relevant categories for a page. For example, YogTours is categorised under Turpster, as he is the presenter, YogTowers, since this is the main subject if the show, Yogscast, because members appear in the show, and Shows (obviously!).

Don't include categories of a similar level of relevance. For example, if a Music article falls under the category of "Christmas Songs" then it should not be added to category "Songs" also, since "Christmas Songs" is a more specific version of "Songs", one category at this level is sufficient.

New categories can be created if needed, but one should not be created if it will only ever apply to a single page. If you notice a page with misleading/incorrect/zero categories feel free to edit it, or alternatively please report it to a member of the Wiki Staff.

Adding Categories
There are 3 ways to add a page to a category:
 * 1) Clicking the "Add Category" button in the categories box at bottom of a page.
 * 2) While editing an article.
 * 3) Adding a content producer's Banner will automatically add that content producer as a category.

Achievement Categories
The Achievement Categories are:
