StrategyWiki:Guide/Categorization

On StrategyWiki we attempt to provide information and guides for video games across all systems and genres. At the moment there are pages in guides and information pages for hundreds of games. In order to allow people to find what they need to find here, we had to set up a categorisation scheme, outlined below.

Core article categories
There are ten core categories which all content on StrategyWiki belongs:
 * Games - All main pages for every game are categorised here alphabetically, a full index to every game StrategyWiki has to offer.
 * Systems - Category where all video game systems can be found for browsing. Games are sorted into all of the systems that they have been released.  Systems are also categorized into the company that released them.
 * Genres - Category for the different video game genres. Games are sorted into the genres where they can fit to some degree.
 * Companies - A listing of all companies and groups related to video games.
 * Modes - Single player, or Multi-player
 * Series - Games that have spawned a series can be found here. This is useful because members interested in one game in a series can see how the other guides in the series are progressing, and help out however they can.
 * Move lists - Move lists for characters in fighter games, each character has one single page, possibly explaining their moves from several games.
 * Official pages - Guides related to the functioning of StrategyWiki, including maintenance and other pages.
 * Guides by completion stage - Guides categorized by their completion stage, see more at Guide completion stage.
 * Dates - Categories for each day of the year, and each year to list events that occurred during that time.

Template categorisation
Generic templates which are used in many different guides simply need to be placed in Category:Templates. Templates specifically designed for one guide should go in Category:Guide-specific templates. When categorising a template, add the initial letter of the template's name to the categorisation, so a guide-specific template beginning with "A" would be categorised thus:. This is to keep the templates in a sensible order in the category.
