For this, there is a simple rule of thumb: with exception of the HLCC tag, do not be redundant! Select the most relevant content category. The category Amaram's army is in Armies, which is a subset of Groups, but for members of Amaram's army, it is silly to include the Armies and Groups tags, since that isn't even relevant! Another example would be how Kelsier is labeled as an Allomancer, but not a Magic user, since Allomancer is automatically a Magic user.
Culture and Magic can be applied to members of other HLCCs, if applicable. See below for their specific usage.
In some scenarios, subcategories of HLCCs can be members of more than one HLCC, if explicitly necessary. Some pages in one HLCC can have a subcategory of another HLCC if necessary (ex: [[Cult of the Returned]]).
There are also special subcategories of the HLCCs called '''overriding categories''' that, instead of keeping the HLCC tag, override it. This can be because this subcategory is distinct enough within its HLCC that it does not make sense to tag the article with both. For example, [[Bridge Four]] is in the [[:Category: Groups|Groups]] category. Groups are groups of characters, and thus are a member of the Character Category, but Bridge Four is not a character itself. Another reason an article could use a subset of a HLCC is because this subset is a member of multiple HLCCs, such as [[:Category: Magical entities|Magical entities]], which is a member of both [[:Category: Magic|Magic]] and [[:Category: Characters|Characters]].
The overriding categories are: Sapient beings, Ethnicities and Nationalities, and Groups, which are all subcategories of Characters, the largest high level content category.
Moving on from the HLCCs, there are some subcategories of Content that are not mutually exclusive with any of those high level categories. They are:
===Characters===
[[:Category: Characters|Characters]] is the single largest category on the Coppermind, which contains every characters. A character is a sapient being, such as a human. InCharacters otherare words, to be a character, it needs to be somethinganything that could have a viewpoint in a story. Forare named things thatand are not sapient,members seeof [[:Category: Lifeforms|Lifeforms]].
All subcategories of Characters contain individual character pages. It contains subcategories for characters by book. For [[Cosmere]] works, these use demonyms (when known) like [[:Category: Scadrians|Scadrians]], [[:Category: Nalthians|Nalthians]], or [[:Category: Rosharans|Rosharans]]; otherwise, they are titled as [[:Category:Reckoners characters|Reckoners characters]] or [[:Category: Legion characters|Legion characters]].
SubcategoriesOther subcategories include:
*[[:Category: Dead characters|Dead characters]]
*[[:Category: Unnamed characters|Unnamed characters]]
*[[:Category: Professions|Professions]], a holding category for subsets of characters by profession, like [[:Category: Scholars]]
