Category:Browse

This is our top-level category. (Looking at it another way, it is our root category!)

Ideally, every other category should be a subcategory of at least one other, and every article should be in at least one category; many will fit well into two (eg location and subject-matter). A full list of existing categories can be found at Special:Categories.

To add a new category, just add to the article or existing category page  (after checking whether any existing category is suitable).

If two categories have overlapping subject-matter with each having some that's not in the other (eg Category:Indo-European and Category:Indian languages or Category:Europe and Category:Russia), they can each include (in the text portion) a link to the other, but neither should be a subcategory of the other. We will use the Categorisation page for detailed reasons and recommendations, including ways of arranging articles and subcategories in other than strict alphabetical order.
