Think of all categories as branches on one tree. The goal of our category structure is to make sure that ultimately, all categories go to one place: Floor 500, our top-level category.
All categories should be nested so that they ultimately lead to one place: Category:Floor 500. Our category tree has only four branches, into which all pages and other categories flow:
| :Category:Floor 500 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| :Category:Time-Space Visualiser | :Category:Real world | :Category:The Hub | :Category:Non-DWU material | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| in-universe articles: The Doctor, K9, Sarah Jane Smith | behind-the-scenes articles: Steven Moffat, The Eaters of Light, director | pages that help run the wiki: Forum:The Master, Help:Avatars, Tardis:Game of Rassilon rules | articles about licensed material we don't consider to be a valid sources: Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet?, Dr. Who and the Daleks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With few exceptions, articles that are in one of these four categories should not go into another of them.
- Real world and in-universe categories don't mix. Categories like Stories set in 1987 (an out-of-universe category) don't go into things like Category:1980s (an in-universe category). (But see FTRW for more details of how to handle things that actually exist in the real world, but also exist in the DWU.)
- If something is "non-DWU material" it cannot logically be in an in-universe category. So Richard E. Grant's Ninth Doctor cannot go into Category:Incarnations of the Doctor, because he's not playing the Doctor as that character is defined at the page the Doctor. He's portraying the same fictional character from a real world perspective, but following Tardis:Valid sources, this says nothing about the fictional universe built outwards from An Unearthly Child which we primarily cover.
- Nothing in The Hub should go into an in-universe category. Forum:The Master shouldn't go into Category:The Master, Tardis:Doctors shouldn't go into Category:The Doctor, and so on.
