Help > Classification in categories

Classification in categories is essential to find quickly articles or media types or just for a classification. [[Category:Flora]] creates a category. But it has to be mentioned that it will not be found by a standard search, because this page isn't esteablished yet really. To do so you have to click the red link from the category's name and add a description or purpose of this particular category. An added colon, however, creates only a link to the category, e.g.: [[:Category:Flora]].

In general each category is sorted by category's name, but it's also possible to alter this behaviour:

Wiki-Page Abies alba


{{DEFAULTSORT:alba, Abies}}
[[Category:Abies]]
[[Category:Conifers]]
[[Category:Flora]]
[[Category:Descriptions of species]]

Now this category will be sorted differently as given and not like “Abies alba”.

It's also possible to nest categories in the following way and create sub-categories:

Page with


[[Category:A sub-category]]
Sub-category's page with


[[Category:Super-category]]
follow link of category→
