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.
Sortkeys
Each category page lists its pages in alphabetical order under first letter. It is possible to change this using sortkeys.
For example, normally everything in Category:Potions would be under "P", because all of the articles start with "potion of": potion of enlightenment, potion of see invisible, and the others. However, using sortkeys, we can put the potion of enlightenment under "E" and that of see invisible under "S". The following code belongs at the bottom of its respective article:
[[Category:Potions|Enlightenment]][[Category:Potions|See invisible]]
List of categories
Current categories include the following. There might already be new categories that are not in this list.
- Category:Articles root category for everything and miscellaneous
- Category:ASCII for ASCII characters
- Category:Acronyms acronyms and initialisms, mostly redirects
- Category:Attributes for attributes
- Category:Dungeon features for dungeon features
- Category:Gods for gods
- Category:Intrinsics for intrinsics
- Category:Items for all items and objects
- Category:Monsters for monsters
- Category:Unique monsters for Asmodeus, Famine, ...
- Category:Roles for player roles (classes)
