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.
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
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]].
*[[: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]]
*[[:Category: Ethnicities and Nationalities|Ethnicities and Nationalities]],
*[[:Category: Sapient beings|Sapient beings]], an overriding category▼
*[[:Category: Groups|Groups]], for categories of characters by specific organization
