Categories Rules
- This wiki is not designed to be a search engine. Categories are simple and straighforward ways of connecting people to similar pages.
- ARG/ARE series information is MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. This means you can classify a page as part of one ARG/ARE, but not several. Pages should be linked to their originating series regardless of existing crossovers.
- Always categorize SPECIFIC over GENERAL. This means if a topic fits into an existing subcategory to categorize it under that first before categorizing it under the more general topic.
- Certain pages may be viable for multiple categories. Please discuss with an admin before adding multiple categories to a page.
- The only exception is categorizing with series names. All relevant information should be tagged with the correct series.
- Subcategory Pages may appear under multiple Category Pages, but should not be added/edited by Users.
Suggesting New Categories
If you think of a category that would be a useful addition to this site, leave a message on one of the administrator's talk pages with the name of the category, reason(s) why you feel it should be added, and a general idea/list of pages that would fit the category.
Penalties for Adding New Categories OR Categories Violations
- First time: 1 day/ violation.
- Second time: 1 week/violation.
- Third time: 1 month/violation.
- Fourth time: 3 months/violation.
- Fifth time: Permanent ban from editing.

If you add categories to a blog or a user page, you will be blocked in the same manner as if you were creating new categories or violating categories rules.
