Creating New Categories

For some of us overly-organized types, there is a tendency to want to categorise everything. In fact, a quick visit to Uncategorized pages should show only a very few pages. Categories are one of the best ways to organize articles in the wiki, and all community members are encouraged to add every article to an appropriate category (or occasionally more than one). There's a place for everything else, and everything is in its place.

Others don't want to stop there, and that's where we need some good old NSwiki consensus. It's possible that Hell Bovines want a lettuce category for all their different brands, or SAG Weapons Corporation needs a complete catalog of handguns. Well, they both can, at present, by adding those items to their factbooks. What we're trying to avoid is the existence of standalone categories for Lettuce and Handguns.

If you want to create a new factbook for your main nation, go right ahead. Instructions are posted in Category:Factbooks. Before creating anything else, though, post a comment in the Village pump, bring it to #nswiki, or drop a note on the Talk page of one of the sysops. Thanks.
