===Guide pages===
In general, only the main pages of guides get any categories. {{c|Sub-pages}} are automatically categorised as such by inserting the {{t|Header Nav}} template. Many categories are automatically inserted on main game pages through use of templates in the {{t|Game}}. The {{c|release date templates}}, {{t|co}} template and {{t|sys}} template all insert categories (dates, companies and systems, respectively). In addition to the templates, the <code>series=</code> parameter also inserts the series category. Additional categories you need to include are {{c|Modes}} (Single player, Multiplayer, etc.) and {{c|Genres}} (Platform, Action, etc.). Categories which you may or may not have to add include, company and system categories if one of the above templates wasn't used and expansion pack, series, MAME, Sony Greatest Hits, etc. where applicable.

Images require the use of any content-based categories, such as {{c|Screenshots}} or {{c|Box artwork}}, as well as a guide-specific image category in the form of <nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Game Name'' images]]. Images which are not guide-related, such as {{c|Company logos}} or {{c|System images}}, generally have their own specific categories and aren't usually paired with another one except for {{c|Photos}}.
