This page explains what '''categories''' are, why they are important, and how you can create and use them. For more details, see Wikipedia's Help page on [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Categories Categories].
=== Manual Categorization ===
A page can be manually categorized by putting the
== Required Categories ==
The ''book/series identifier'' notes which book or series the article is related to. This is a wiki about Brandon Sanderson's books, after all, so most articles are related to one book/series or another. Note that some cosmere-related articles may not fit with a particular book/series at this time--these are put into the "Cosmere" category.
The book/series identifier is ''automatically added'' by the [[:Help:Templates#Navigation_boxes|navbox]] template, which should be located at the bottom of
=== High Level Content Categories ===
There are
{{columns|count=2|
* [[:Category:Books]]
* [[:Category:Characters]]
* [[:Category:Culture]]
* [[:Category:Events and Eras]]
* [[:Category:Magic]]
* [[:Category:Objects and Materials]]
}}
The high level content category is ''automatically added'' by the [[:Help:Templates#Information_boxes|infobox]] template, which should be located at the very top of
=== Quality Tags ===
''Quality tags'' indicate the quality and completion level of every page. These are very useful to editors
Quality tags must be added in the "Notes" section of an article (see [[Help:Guidelines#Article_Structure|Help:Guidelines]]), directly between the <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> tag and the navbox. They are added using special templates; the four you should know about are:
; <span title='This article is a stub'>◔</span> Stub {{t|stub}}
: ''Stubs'' are articles that have barely any information. If it's very short and needs a lot of work, it's a stub. Use <code><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></code> to categorize.
; <span title='This article is still missing information'>◒</span> Partially Complete {{t|partial}}
: ''Partially complete'' articles are off to a good start, but need more work before they can be considered complete. Use <code><nowiki>{{partial}}</nowiki></code> to categorize.
; <span title='This article is nearly complete'>◕</span> Nearing Completion {{t|complete}}
: Mark an article as ''nearing completion'' when you believe the article is content complete. Use <code><nowiki>{{complete}}</nowiki></code> to categorize.
; <span title='This article is complete' style='color: green;'>⚫︎</span> Complete {{t|complete}}
: The admins will review articles that are "nearing completion" and mark them as ''complete'' when they agree, adding a <code><nowiki>|~~~~</nowiki></code> signature to the existing <code><nowiki>{{complete}}</nowiki></code> tag. This helps us know when the article was last reviewed.
