Help:Creating category pages

Category pages help collect material of a similar kind together. Every page to which a particular category has been applied, for instance Category:Inns, can all be viewed at that category's page.

For help applying categories to an article, see the Categories help page. When you apply categories to an article, some of those categories may already exist and your new page will show these at the bottom in blue like Category:Help at the bottom of this help article. However, some of you categories may show in a red-coloured font like this: Category:Red text. This means you have selected a category that does not exist yet. This help page discusses creating those missing category pages.

The category tree

The best place to start to consider your new category page is Category:Categories. This is the bottom of the category tree from which all subject branches start. Use the tree to consider where best your new category should reside. Then take a look at similar category pages and see how they are constructed and use this as a guide to how your new page should look.

Linking back to the main topic page

It is useful when navigating the wiki to have a link from a category page to the main page associated with that category. For instance a link from Category:Elf to the page for Elf. To effect this please add the following text to a category page, where Page is the name of the associated topic page:

{{Main|Page}}

For example, for the category Category:Elf, we have added the following text to the category page to provide a link to the page called Elf.

{{Main|Elf}}

It looks like this on the page:

X/Y categories

A common category construct on the PathfinderWiki is the X/Y construct. This is where Y is a subcategory of X, for instance, Category:Varisia/Settlements, which lists all the settlements (Y) in Varisia (X). The format for these pages is standardized and should be followed when creating such a page so that your new category is correctly placed within the category tree. Currently on the PathfinderWiki, X may be a continent, a deity, a nation, an organization, a plane, a race, or a settlement. The following sections discuss each X in turn. After an introduction, each type of category page that might be created for a particular X is highlighted in red text. Immediately below that is the structure needed to create that page in a light box with a dotted border. Please cut and paste that text into your new category page and substitute the correct proper names for your page. For example, if the code contains 'N/Settlements' and the nation with which you are concerned is Varisia, then substitute 'Varisia' for 'N'.

Ancestries, heritages, and races

PathfinderWiki defines an ancestry or heritage (2E), also referred to in older works as a race (1E), as a creature a player can play as a PC.

PathfinderWiki previously defined and used the term "race" as any species of sapient creature capable of recognizing its individuality, which extended the definition to creatures such as dragons. While maximally inclusive, this categorization was often subjectively and inconsistently applied due to Pathfinder First Edition's ambiguity in creature playability as introduced by mechanics like the Race Builder in Advanced Race Guide. It was also sometimes poorly applied to sapient creatures of common social backgrounds or methods of creation that were not biologically distinct, or even non-biological such as androids and full outsiders, for whom the term "race" was inaccurate at best. Pathfinder Second Edition replaces use of the term "race" with the terms of "ancestry", which represents major groups of sapient species and their collective cultures and societies, and "heritage", representing culturally and/or geographically linked peoples within an ancestry. Second Edition also more specifically defines "ancestry" and "heritage" in mechanical terms than First Edition defined "race", while providing fewer rules than First Edition to enable arbitrary creatures to become playable races. PathfinderWiki now categorizes creatures by following the definitions of Second Edition. Families of creatures that have explicit mechanics for playability regardless of edition are categorized in Category:Ancestries and heritages. The wiki also no longer categorizes arbitrary sapient creatures lacking explicit playable mechanics as "races", but instead as Category:Inhabitants. Both are child categories of the common parent Category:People. For consistency within an article, the terms "race", or for non-humans "ethnicity", can also be generically replaced with "ancestry" and "heritage", respectively, if they are more appropriate terms in context. Categories should not be applied, however, if the type of creature is not mechanically defined as a playable ancestry or heritage.

In this section, "ancestry" is used to represent all three terms (race, ancestry, or heritage) unless stated otherwise. Please note that for all ancestries, the ancestry's name should be in the singular when it replaces the "A" in the examples below.

For a given ancestry A, there are several categories in use on this wiki:

1. Category:A
2. Category:A/Armor
3. Category:A/Heritages
4. Category:A/History
5. Category:A/Inhabitants
6. Category:A/Locations
7. Category:A/Nations
8. Category:A/Organizations
9. Category:A/Settlements
10. Category:A/Tribes
11. Category:A/Weapons

There is an additional subcategory for humans, who have ethnicities that are not in the A/Subcategory format but are simply named by the ethnicity itself, e.g., Category:Vudrani, Category:Ulfen, etc.

Below is shown how each category page should be written for Ancestry (A) of Type (T) (a Type corresponds with the creature's types in the Pathfinder RPG rules). For ancestries that are part of a 'family' of creatures, F, use the line with 'F' in it; if the creature is not part of a wider family then this line is not needed. Please see the Creature families section for more information about 'families' of creatures.

Top category

PathfinderWiki defines the top categories as either Category:Ancestries and heritages for creatures so defined above, or as Category:Inhabitants for all other creatures. Do not add a creature type or family to both of these parent categories.

• If the creature in question is a playable ancestry, heritage, or race, add its category to Category:Ancestries and heritages on the second line.

In Category:A:

{{Main|A}}
[[Category:Ancestries and heritages]]
[[Category:F]]
<!-- 1E categories -->
[[Category:T]]
<!-- 2E categories: add only the trait categories for 2E common to all members of this ancestry or heritage -->
[[Category:2ETrait creatures]]

• Otherwise, add its category to Category:Ancestries and heritages on the second line.

In Category:C, where C represents the creature:

{{Main|C}}
[[Category:Inhabitants]]
[[Category:F]]
<!-- 1E categories -->
[[Category:T]]
<!-- 2E categories: add only the trait categories for 2E common to all members of this ancestry or heritage -->
[[Category:2ETrait creatures]]

Subcategories

While the following refer to A as Ancestries, this structure can also be applied to non-Ancestry creatures categorized under Category:Inhabitants if there are relevant articles to fill the subcategories.

In Category:A/Armor:

[[Category:A| Armor]]
[[Category:Armor by people]]
[[Category:F/Armor]]

In Category:A/Heritages:

[[Category:A| Heritages]]

In Category:A/History:

[[Category:A| History]]
[[Category:History by people]]
[[Category:F/History]]

In Category:A/Inhabitants:

[[Category:A| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by people]]
[[Category:F/Inhabitants]]

In Category:A/Locations:

[[Category:A| Locations]]
[[Category:Locations by people]]
[[Category:F/Locations]]

In Category:A/Nations:

[[Category:A| Nations]]
[[Category:Nations by people]]
[[Category:F/Nations]]

In Category:A/Organizations:

[[Category:A| Organizations]]
[[Category:Organizations by people]]
[[Category:F/Organizations]]

In Category:A/Settlements:

[[Category:A| Settlements]]
[[Category:Settlements by people]]
[[Category:F/Settlements]]

In Category:A/Tribes:

[[Category:A| Tribes]]
[[Category:Tribes]]
[[Category:F/Tribes]]

If an ancestry or creature uses a different term than "tribe", such as "clan", use it in place of "Tribes".

In Category:A/Weapons:

[[Category:A| Weapons]]
[[Category:Weapons by people]]
[[Category:F/Weapons]]

If there are multiple articles for other types of items, you can create additional similar categories.

Human ethnicities

For each human ethnicity, the category should be written so:

{{Main|Ethnicity}}
[[Category:Human]]

Creature families

Some ancestries form part of a 'family' of creatures. For instance, hobgoblins are part of the goblin family. For each family, F, the category, Category:F, should be written similarly to the top category format above. In our example of goblins, the Type would be Humanoids and the 2ETrait would include Goblinoid subtype creatures. So, the category Category:Goblin would be written thus:

{{Main|Goblin}}
[[Category:Ancestries and heritages]]
<!-- 1E categories -->
[[Category:Humanoids]]
[[Category:Goblinoid subtype creatures]]
<!-- 2E categories: add only the trait categories for 2E common to all members of this ancestry or heritage -->
[[Category:Goblin trait creatures]]

Creature families should be written in the singular, for instance, Category:Goblin not Category:Goblins.

Continents

As the number of continents on Golarion is known to be eight, the category pages for all the continents have already been made. This section records the rationale behind the structure adopted. If you are interested, the list of the known continents is recorded here: Category:Continents.

For continents, 4 types of category page exist:

C is Continent

1. Category:C
2. Category:C/Geography
3. Category:C/Inhabitants
4. Category:Nations of C

This is how each category page is written for a Continent (C):

Category:C

{{Main|C}}
[[Category:Continents]]

Category:C/Geography

[[Category:C| Geography]]
[[Category:Geography by continent]]

Category:C/Inhabitants

[[Category:C| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by continent]]

Category:Nations of C

[[Category:C| Nations]]
[[Category:Nations by continent|C]]

Deities

The following categories are used for deity associated material within the PathfinderWiki:

D is Deity

1. Category:D
2. Category:D/Armor
3. Category:D/Followers
4. Category:D/Holidays
5. Category:D/Items
6. Category:D/Locations
7. Category:D/Organizations
8. Category:D/Servants
9. Category:D/Temples
10. Category:D/Weapons

Category:D

Select all that apply from the list below to define the deity.

{{Main|D}}

[[Category:Major deities]] 

[[Category:Minor deities]] [[Category:Outer Gods]]

[[Category:Demigods]] 
[[Category:Archdaemons]] [[Category:Archdevils]] [[Category:Demon lords]]  [[Category:Eldest]] [[Category:Elemental lords]] 
[[Category:Empyreal lords]] [[Category:Great Old Ones]] [[Category:Infernal dukes]] [[Category:Malebranche]] 
[[Category:Protean lords]] [[Category:Whore queens]] 

[[Category:Dead deities]] 

Category:D/Armor

[[Category:D| Armor]]
[[Category:Armor by deity]]

Category:D/Followers

[[Category:D| Followers]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by religion]]

Category:D/Holidays

[[Category:D| Holidays]]
[[Category:Holidays by deity]]

Category:D/Items

[[Category:D| Items]]
[[Category:Items by deity]]

Category:D/Locations

[[Category:D| Locations]]
[[Category:Locations by deity]]

Category:D/Organizations

[[Category:D| Organizations]]
[[Category:Organizations by deity]]

Category:D/Servants

[[Category:D| Servants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by religion]]

Category:D/Temples

[[Category:D| Temples]]
[[Category:Temples]]

Category:D/Weapons

[[Category:D| Weapons]]
[[Category:Weapons by deity]]

Nations

For a nation, several categories exist. For some nations, a regional category also exists and that is dealt with below. Additionally, the special case of historical nations is discussed further below.

N is Nation

1. Category:N
2. Category:N/Colony
3. Category:N/Geography
4. Category:N/History
5. Category:N/Holiday
6. Category:N/Inhabitants
7. Category:N/Locations
8. Category:N/Nature
9. Category:N/Organizations
10. Category:N/Settlements

This is how each category should be written for nation (N) on Continent (C):

Category:N

{{Main|N}}
[[Category:Nations]]
[[Category:Nations of C]]
[[Category:C]]

Category:N/Colony

[[Category:N| Colony]]
[[Category:Colonies]]

Category:N/Geography

[[Category:N| Geography]]
[[Category:Geography by nation]]

Category:N/History

[[Category:N| History]]
[[Category:History by nation]]

Category:N/Holiday

[[Category:N| Holiday]]
[[Category:Holidays by nation]]

Category:N/Inhabitants

[[Category:N| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by nation]]
[[Category:C/Inhabitants]]

Category:N/Locations

[[Category:N| Locations]]
[[Category:Locations by nation]]

Category:N/Nature

[[Category:N| Nature]]
[[Category:Nature by nation]]

Category:N/Organizations

[[Category:N| Organizations]]
[[Category:Organizations by nation]]

Category:N/Settlements

[[Category:N| Settlements]]
[[Category:Settlements by nation]]

Regions, Counties, Kingdoms, etc.

N/Archduchies (for Cheliax)

N/Counties (for Ustalav)

N/Kingdoms (for the Lands of the Linnorm Kings)

N/Prefectures (for Taldor)

N/Provinces (for Minkai or Molthune)

N/Regions (e.g., for Qadira or the River Kingdoms)

N/Mahajanapadas & N/Regions (for Vudra)

For the main [[Category:N/Regions]] page, the following format would be used to create the category page, substituting 'Regions' with 'Counties', 'Kingdoms', etc., as needed:

[[Category:N| Regions]]

For a subregion (SUB) of a nation (N) for the page [[Category:SUB]] use the following format for the contents of the page:

{{Main|SUB}}
[[Category:N/'Subregion Type']]

For a particular subregion (SUB) of a nation (N) the following is a general guide to a page required called [[Category:SUB/y]]:

[[Category:SUB| y]]
[[Category:N/y]]

For example, for the county of Caliphas in the nation of Ustalav:

The Category:Caliphas page would just have the following contents:

{{Main|Caliphas}}
[[Category:Ustalav/Counties]]

Any pages about Caliphas in the Caliphas/y format would follow this pattern for content, using Category:Caliphas/Settlements as an example:

[[Category:Caliphas| Settlements]]
[[Category:Ustalav/Settlements]]

Historical Nations

For Historical Nations, the pattern should be pretty much the same for all the /y subcategories. There is a difference, however, for [[Category:HN]], where HN is the historical nation. In this case the page should be created as follows:

{{Main|HN}}
[[Category:Historical nations]]
[[Category:Nations of C]]
[[Category:C]]

Organizations

For an organization, just three categories are generally used. Some organizations take special categories like the Pathfinder Society and the Hellknights.

O is Organization

1. Category:O
2. Category:O/Locations
3. Category:O/Members

Category:O needs to be placed into :

1. all 2E trait categories;
2. all the categories that are chosen for it in its corresponding article, such as Category:Asmodeus/Organizations or Category:Absalom/Organizations;
3. any applicable collections of organizations: such as Category:Thieves' guilds and Category:Noble houses.

So for the Thin Wisps organization, for example, in which the main article is categorized as follows:

[[Category:Corentyn]]
[[Category:Corentyn/Organizations]]
[[Category:Thin Wisps]]
[[Category:Halfling/Organizations]]
[[Category:Neutral organizations]]
[[Category:Thieves' guilds]]

The page Category:Thin Wisps would be categorized like this:

{{Main|Thin Wisps}}
[[Category:Corentyn/Organizations]]
[[Category:Halfling/Organizations]]
[[Category:Thieves' guilds]]

Category:Organizations should be reserved only for organizations that do not fit into any other subcategory.

The following text may be cut and pasted for the organization, the inapplicable lines deleted and the correct details completed. Multiple lines of the same type of subcategory are permitted, for example, if an organization had a split HQ over two settlements or was strongly associated with more than one race.

D is Deity; N is Nation; P is Plane; A is Ancestry or heritage (2E), or race (1E); S is Settlement

{{Main|O}}
[[Category:ALIGNMENT organizations]]
[[Category:SIZE organizations]]
[[Category:2ETRAIT organizations]]
[[Category:D/Organizations]]
[[Category:N/Organizations]]
[[Category:P/Organizations]]
[[Category:A/Organizations]]
[[Category:S/Organizations]]

[[Category:Thieves' guilds]]
[[Category:Noble houses]]

Category:O/Locations

[[Category:O| Locations]]
[[Category:Locations by organization]]

Category:O/Members

[[Category:O| Members]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by organization]]

Then deal with the special subcategories appropriately by following suit , e.g., Category:Pathfinder Society/Venture-captains.

Planes

For a plane, the following categories are needed and, maybe, other special categories for a particular plane.

1. Category:P
2. Category:P/Geography
3. Category:P/Inhabitants
4. Category:P/Locations
5. Category:P/Nations
6. Category:P/Organizations
7. Category:P/Settlements

This is how each category should be written for a plane (P). There are also extra lines for adding if the category being created is a demiplane resident in a parent plane (PP); these lines should not be used for a major plane.

Category:P

{{Main|P}}
[[Category:Planes]]
[[Category:Outer Sphere planes]] / [[Category:Inner Sphere planes]] / [[Category:Elemental Planes]] [[Category:Demiplanes]] 
<!-- delete the inappropriate ones -->
[[Category:PP/Locations]] <!-- use only for a demiplane that has a parent plane (PP) -->

Category:P/Geography

[[Category:P| Geography]]
[[Category:Geography by plane]]
[[Category:PP/Geography]]<!-- delete this whole line if P is not a demiplane with a parent plane (PP) -->

Category:P/Inhabitants

[[Category:P| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by plane]]
[[Category:PP/Inhabitants]]<!-- delete this whole line if P is not a demiplane with a parent plane (PP) -->

Category:P/Locations

[[Category:P| Locations]]
[[Category:Locations by plane]]
[[Category:PP/Locations]]<!-- delete this whole line if P is not a demiplane with a parent plane (PP) -->

Category:P/Nations

[[Category:P| Nations]]
[[Category:Nations by plane]]
[[Category:PP/Nations]]<!-- delete this whole line if P is not a demiplane with a parent plane (PP) -->

Category:P/Organizations

[[Category:P| Organizations]]
[[Category:Organizations by plane]]
[[Category:PP/Organizations]]<!-- delete this whole line if P is not a demiplane with a parent plane (PP) -->

Category:P/Settlements

[[Category:P| Settlements]]
[[Category:Settlements by plane]]
[[Category:PP/Settlements]]<!-- delete this whole line if P is not a demiplane with a parent plane (PP) -->

Planar Layers, Realms, etc.

These are handled by making any entity on a planar layer a member of both the planar layer and the parent plane. For instance, for inhabitants of the city of Diovengia in the Abyssal Realm of Pleroma, this would be how to create the category Category:Diovengia/Inhabitants:

[[Category:Diovengia| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Pleroma/Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Abyss/Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by settlement]]

So the inhabitant is a member of Diovengia, Pleroma and the Abyss.

Follow this pattern for any other '/Y' pages.

For actual planar layers themselves, there are no summary pages like Category:Inhabitants by settlement, so for these all we need is to make them a member of the parent plane, for example, using Pleroma:

Category:Pleroma/Inhabitants

[[Category:Pleroma| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Abyss/Inhabitants]]

For the category page of the actual layer, realm, etc., use the following format:

{{Main|Layer}}
[[Category:Plane/Layers]]

Settlements

If someone creates an article about a settlement, they may set up several categories for categorizing information about it:

1. Category:S
2. Category:S/Districts for larger settlements; see below for more detail
3. Category:S/Geography
4. Category:S/History
5. Category:S/Holdings
6. Category:S/Inhabitants
7. Category:S/Locations
8. Category:S/Organizations

This is how each category should be written for a Settlement (S) in Nation (N) and Region (SUB). A is Ancestry or heritage (2E), or race (1E). Substitute the alignment of the settlement for "ALIGNMENT"; the size of the settlement, such as "Villages", "Metropolises", etc. for "SIZEOFSETTLEMENT"; and the numerical value for the 2E level of the settlement for "X". Finally, add all its 2E traits.

Category:S

{{Main|S}}
[[Category:SUB/Settlements]]
[[Category:N/Settlements]]
[[Category:A/Settlements]]
[[Category:ALIGNMENT settlements]]
<!-- 1E categories -->
[[Category:SIZEOFSETTLEMENT]]
<!-- 2E categories -->
[[Category:Level X settlements]]
[[Category:2ETRAIT settlements]]

Category:S/Districts

[[Category:S| Districts]]

Category:S/Geography

[[Category:S| Geography]]
[[Category:SUB/Geography]]
[[Category:N/Geography]]
[[Category:Geography by settlement]]

Category:S/History

[[Category:S| History]]
[[Category:SUB/History]]
[[Category:N/History]]
[[Category:History by settlement]]

Category:S/Holdings

[[Category:S| Holdings]]

Category:S/Inhabitants

[[Category:S| Inhabitants]]
[[Category:SUB/Inhabitants]]
[[Category:N/Inhabitants]]
[[Category:Inhabitants by settlement]]

Category:S/Locations

[[Category:S| Locations]]
[[Category:SUB/Locations]]
[[Category:N/Locations]]

Category:S/Organizations

[[Category:S| Organizations]]
[[Category:SUB/Organizations]]
[[Category:N/Organizations]]

City Districts

For a City District (CD) in Settlement, S, for its category page [[Category:CD]] use the following format for the contents of the page:

{{Main|CD}}
[[Category:S/Districts]]

For a City District (CD) in Settlement, S, the following is a general guide to a required category page of the format [[Category:CD/y]]:

[[Category:CD| y]]
[[Category:S/y]]

For example, using the city district called the The Coins in Absalom, the category page for Category:The Coins/Locations would look like this:

[[Category:The Coins| Locations]]
[[Category:Absalom/Locations|Coins]]

Other Commonly Required Category Pages

The following are often needed to be added to the Wiki when new art or a Paizo publication is added. Often, we place a {{Main}} template to give direct access to the subject's wiki page. Many of these categories also use the {{DEFAULTSORT}} template; this template enforces how its category page is alphabetized on other pages. This is useful because many of the category names below start with 'Images' or 'Artwork', for instance and the wiki would just place those pages under 'I' and 'A', respectively as a huge group. It is better, and more useful, to alphabetize under the subject of the image under discussion instead. Furthermore, we alphabetize by surname then Christian name. Finally, for alphabetization, we always drop the article (The, A, An) from the start of any titles.

Actors

Category:Works starring actorname

{{Main|Actorname}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Actorname}}
[[Category:Works by actor]]

An example:

{{Main|Laurence Olivier}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Olivier, Laurence}}
[[Category:Works by actor]]

Artwork

We endeavour to keep the artwork we are allowed to use on this wiki categorised in a number of ways to facilitate its use. We categorize by artist, source and subject, which are discussed here. We also categorize by licence and year, not discussed here, and by product line when applicable.

• Category:Artwork by artistname
• Category:Artwork by sourcename
• Category:Images of subject

Category:Artwork by artistname

{{Main|Artist}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Artist}}
[[Category:Artwork by artist]]

Example:

{{Main|Wayne Reynolds}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Reynolds, Wayne}}
[[Category:Artwork by artist]]

Category:Artwork by sourcename

{{Main|Bookname}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Bookname}}
[[Category:Artwork by source]]

An example:

{{Main|The Inner Sea World Guide}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Inner Sea World Guide}}
[[Category:Artwork by source]]

Additionally, for the following product lines, we group the sources and examples are shown below:

• Comics
• Pathfinder Adventure Card Game
• Pathfinder Battles
• Pathfinder Cards
• Pathfinder Legends

Comics

{{Main|City of Secrets 5}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:City of Secrets 5}}
[[Category:Artwork from comics]]
[[Category:Artwork by source]]

Pathfinder Cards

{{Main|Rules Reference Flash Cards}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Rules Reference Flash Cards}}
[[Category:Artwork by source]]
[[Category:Artwork from Pathfinder Cards]]

For Pathfinder Cards we have two subdivisions—Face Cards and Item Cards. Each is handled slightly differently:

{{Main|Pathfinder Society Face Cards}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Pathfinder Society Face Cards}}
[[Category:Artwork by source]]
[[Category:Images of face cards]]

{{Main|Carrion Crown Item Cards}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Carrion Crown Item Cards}}
[[Category:Artwork by source]]
[[Category:Images of item cards]]

Category:Images of subject

In addition to the normal lines for such templates, if the art subject is a monster or creature, we add additional categories to show what type of creature it is. First, we add its Type (as defined by the creature's type in its stat block, rather than its non-mechanical traits), but in some cases we add a family of monsters that might also be useful. Examples are given below:

{{Main|Subject}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Subject}}
[[Category:Artwork by subject]]
[[Category:Images of subjectmonstertypes]]

[[Category:Images of aberrations]]
[[Category:Images of animals]]
[[Category:Images of demon lords]]
[[Category:Images of demons]]
[[Category:Images of devils]]
[[Category:Images of giants]]
[[Category:Images of hags]]
[[Category:Images of magical beasts]]
[[Category:Images of monstrous humanoids]]
[[Category:Images of outsiders]]
[[Category:Images of undead]]
[[Category:Images of vermin]]

An example of how this would work for a bugbear is as follows:

Category:Images of bugbears

{{Main|Bugbear}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Bugbears}}
[[Category:Artwork by subject]]
[[Category:Images of goblinoids]]
[[Category:Images of humanoids]]

Authors

Category:Works by authorname

{{Main|Author}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Author}}
[[Category:Works by author]]

An example:

{{Main|Mark Moreland}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Moreland, Mark}}
[[Category:Works by author]]

Fictional Character Appearances

Category:Fictional character appearances

{{Appearances category|Character}}

So, as an example, Category:Varian Jeggare appearances is composed as follows:

{{Appearances category|Varian Jeggare}}

Unsure about Categories?

If you have written an article and are unsure about which categories to apply, or simply want your categories double checked, or you wish someone to help with the creation of a new category, then please feel free to add this text at the bottom of your article in this format:

[[Category:Please check categories]]

This will flag to others that the article's categories need checking or adding. We hope that, soon thereafter, another wiki member will be along to help.
