*[[:Category:Appropedia maintenance#Help maintaining the category structure]]
Here are some links that make it easy to ensure that the category structure is complete:
 
* [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]] - should be empty.
* [[Special:Uncategorizedcategories]] - should be empty, other than [[:Category:Fundamental]].
* [[Special:Unusedcategories]] - add suitable articles to categories, or (if you're an [[Appropedia:Admin|admin]]) consider deleting the categories.
* [[Special:Categories]] - should contain no redlinks. (When you create a category page, remember to put it in another category.)

Every page belongs in a category. To see what categories there are in Appropedia:

Using categories

If you create a new category, it's best to put it within another category. On the occasions when it doesn't fit in another category, then it is a fundamental category, and should contain the tag [[Category:Fundamental]] as the last line of your new wiki category.

If you are unsure, you can discuss it at the Village Pump.

To start a new subcategory edit the page Category:Your subcategory name and then at the bottom of your wiki enter the line [[Category:The category name that your subcategory is a part of]].

For instance:

Adding the line [[Category:Testcat]] to this wiki page, will make this Help:Categories page a subcategory of Category:Testcat.
