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. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:02, July 7, 2022 (EDT)

The ice caves category does not need the locations category, since underground areas and snowscapes are already subcategories of it, making the locations category redundant. It was removed previously for that very reason, yet you added it back without explaining why. Don't do that. Dark BonesSig.png 14:10, July 14, 2022 (EDT)

Please stop adding redundant categories to articles. If a category already on an article is already categorised under a category you're adding (e.g. "Haunted forests" is under "Haunted areas", "Lakes" is under "Aquatic areas"), then you don't need to add the latter.

Also, you're not ordering categories correctly as I explained above. It should be type categories by significance ("Swamps", "Underground areas" etc.) first, followed by game-specific categories alphabetically (categories with game titles in front of them like "Super Mario Bros. enemies", "Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker levels" etc.), not everything alphabetically.
