NetHackWiki |
A category is an automatic list of wiki pages, useful mostly to wiki editors, but possibly also to readers.
To add a page to a category, put a link like [[Category:Articles]] at the bottom of the page. (You could put it anywhere, but the bottom is best.) To only make normal link, such as Category:Articles, use [[:Category:Articles]] with an extra colon before "Category".
By convention, categories are named like articles, except that they tend to be plural nouns.
List of categories
Current categories include:
- Category:Articles root category for everything and miscellaneous
- Category:Acronyms acronyms - mostly redirects
- Category:Attributes for attributes
- Category:Dungeon features for dungeon features
- Category:Monsters for monsters
- Category:Source code for annotated source code
- Category:Websites for articles about websites
- Category:Wikihack for managing this wiki
- Category:Candidates for deletion
- Category:NGPL for content from NetHack itself
- Category:Rodney for content from Rodney
- Category:Stubs for pages marked {{stub}}
Only create a category page if the category contains at least one page or two subcategories, and if the category has the potential contain several pages or subcategories.
