Categories are important for proper organizing on the Wiki, its a easy way to group them together and find other pages/files belonging to the same category.

Banners with Categories

I have made some banners which can be seen at the top of some pages, which links to other related material.

  • These banners are a template which is inserted to the page
  • The pages using these banners will automatically be put into the relevant Category (its how I coded it).
    This means you should not add these banners to pages that do not belong to the category, but simply add a link in the See Also which is at the bottom of every page or can be easily created.
  • You will see on the template page itself a note telling you if the template comes with a category or not.
