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 Shakespeare Code, director | pages that help run the wiki: Forum:The Master, Help:Avatars, Tardis:Game of Rassilon rules | articles about BBC-licensed material we don't consider to be a valid sources: The Curse of Fatal Death, Dr. Who and the Daleks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With few exceptions, articles that are in one of these four categories should not go into another of them.
- Logically, if something is in-universe it cannot also be in the real world.
- If something is "non-DWU material" it cannot logically be in an in-universe category. So Rowan Atkinson'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 playing a parodic version of the Doctor who isn't a part of the DWU.
- 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.
