Categories you can use to categorise your articles. See individual category descriptions if you are unsure what belongs where.
- How?
- To put an article in a category simply put (eg) [[category:HE]] somewhere in the article.(customarily at the bottom)
- To link to a category article/list (eg category:FAQ) put a colon at the front eg [[:category:FAQ]]
- - to remove the category: from the front put a |(pipe) at the end eg [[:category:FAQ|]] (works for all namespaces)
- For articles about...
- PRTs - Use the appropriate prt categories
- eg "HE vs. JOAT" by Scott Phelps 1996 v2.6b is in the HE and JOAT categories
- LRTs - Use the appropriate lrt categories
- eg Cheap Engines PITA Analysis by Mark Norton - 5th April 2001 is in the CE category
- Individual people
- Other categories
- Ship Design
- Race Design
- Technology
- AI
- Diplomacy
- Glossary
- every abbreviation page should be in this category (as well as redirecting to the appropriate fully titled article) eg AR
