Categories are used in WikiDevi to link articles under a common topic and are found at the bottom of the article page. Clicking the category name displays a list of articles in that category, as well as any sub-categories. Categories allow readers to navigate through WikiDevi and find related articles.

Category tree

All of the categories form a hierarchy, although sub-categories may be a member of more than one category. An example of a small part of this hierarchical structure looks somewhat like this:

Category:Main topic classifications ? Category:History ? Category:History by location ? Category:History by country ? Category:History of Australia ? Category:History of Australia by location ? Category:History of Australia by state or territory ? New South Wales, Queensland, etc.

The actual relationship is more complex since a category may appear as a subcategory of several other categories. The actual relationship of part of the category structure looks like this:

The uppermost category in the hierarchy is Category:Contents. From here all other categories branch out, including those that are used for the maintenance of WikiDevi.

If an entry in a category is shown in italics it is a redirect to an article of a different name or a section of an article that contains information about that particular subject.
