You can use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization Wikipedia categorization guidelines] as a general reference for how categorization should work. Articles should generally be placed only in the most specific applicable category, and 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]].

Note that many articles have a primary category already specified in their QBE-populated template, which will look like this (example from Shale wall with agate deposits):
<pre>
| categories = Gemstone Walls
</pre>
This category is already applied to the article so there's no need to add the category manually by adding <code style="font-size:0.8em;"><nowiki>[[Category:Gemstone Walls]]</nowiki></code> to the page
