Overview
Placement on articles
The following points may be used as a summary as to which categories an article should use. Please refer to the subsequent sections of the policy for further reading.
- All game articles should receive Category:Games, as well as any applicable subcatgories under the asterisk (*) within that category.
- When placing a game category on its game article, use an asterisk.
- When game categories are split into specific categories (such as "Super Paper Mario Characters"), relevant articles should then receive this specific category instead of the game category.
- If an article describing an in-game subject does not fit into a more specific category, then it just receives the overall game category.
- If a specific category can be split further (for example: "Super Paper Mario Characters" extends to "Super Paper Mario Bosses"), only use the most specific category.
Articles should only use these categories when a more specific one cannot be applied:
These types of pages should use the indicated category:
- Image gallery pages should use Category:Galleries
- Glitch pages should use Category:Glitches
- Pages showing a list of media files should use Category:Media
- Pages which list all pre-release and unused content of a game should use Category:Pre-release and unused content
- Quotes pages should use Category:Quotes
- Pages showing staff development teams should use Category:Staff
- Any profile and statistics pages should use a pipelink for the name of that character. For example, the "List of Bowser profiles and statistics" page should use [[Category:Profiles and statistics|Bowser]] so the page isn't listed as beginning with "L".
Note: The same pipelink format is used for other pages where the title begins with "List of", such as item locations, references and most other lists.
Asterisks
- 4. Asterisks within an overall game category are also used for pages which aren't strictly writing on a specific in-game subject, but rather used as a point of reference for that game. This includes any specific game pages seen within the subcategories at Category:Lists, as well as any game galleries.
