(Just wanted to write a little bit about this... this guide will eventually contain lists of where every category goes, but it's a start.) |

*It must be in one of the four "quality" categories: Stub, Complete, Good, Exemplary. Also, if the article is about an especially important subject, it should go in the Notable category.
That's at minimum. As you can see, with the correct templates, categorization gets a lot easier. But feel free to categorize away. The Coppermind's categories are like tags, not folders. In a folder system (like your computer's file system), a file is a member of exactly one folder. Wiki articles are not like that. Articles can be in a lot of categories. The more categories, the better. Maybe the list of all [[:Category:Viewpoint Characters|Viewpoint Characters]] will be useful to someone at some point. Who knows. The more the merrier. (Oh, and a random note: talk pages should never be categorized)
Now, into the nitty gritty specifics, for those who care. If you're a novice editor, you probably don't. Hell, Windy doesn't care, so this is only for the hardest-core people who actually want to know if there is some hierarchy to categories. There is, unfortunately. It's complicated.
