Tardis:Category tree
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
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.
