Articles should generally be placed only in the most specific applicable category. All categories should have parent categories that eventually chain up to the [[:Category:Caves_of_Qud_Wiki|top-level caves of qud wiki category]]. For example, if an article is in [[:Category:Chairs]] it shouldn't also be in [[:Category:Furniture]]. It's okay to add multiple categories to an article if those categories aren't part of the same direct category hierarchy. For example, the [[miner's helmet]] page has both the Helmets and Light Sources categories. | ||
