Categories
Hello, a few things to note regarding categories:
- First consider if the type is worth creating a category for. If only a handful of articles will use it, it shouldn't be created.
- If you're linking to a new one, it needs to be all lowercase unless there's a proper noun (e.g. "Haunted Forests" should be "Haunted forests"); if it exists, make sure the link works properly (showing a blue link instead of red; e.g. "Haunted Areas" should be "Haunted areas").
- When linking a category, it should be ordered: general type categories first (ordered by importance), then game-specific categories last (ordered alphabetically), so "Ice caves" should be listed before "New Super Mario Bros. U levels" for example.
- After you've linked a new category, you're allowed to create it by clicking the resulting red link. You just need to add a description and any categories it belongs to.
I recommend you read over any relevant sections in MarioWiki:Categories like "Size and scope" and "Order on pages" first.
