What are Categories?
Categories form the topic or subject tagging system in use on the P2P Foundation Wiki. At the bottom of most pages on this wiki you will see text that looks like
| Category: Peer Production | Peer Governance |
Peer Production and Peer Governance are two of the categories applied to articles on the site. The category name at the bottom of the page links to the category page, where you can see a list of all articles in that category.
How to Use Categories
You can place your article in a category the same way by adding one or more Category tags to your article. Here's what a category tag looks like inside the edit page of your article. Put this (anywhere) on a page, and the page has the category shown at the bottom, and is listed on the relevant Category page.
For more than one category, simply repeat the same pattern.
[[Category:Peer Production]] [[Category:Peer Governance]]
Which Category to Choose
- Each page should have at least one category, and as many as are useful.
- Do not create new categories unless you plan to place at least 10 pages into that category.
