What are Categories?

At the bottom of most pages on this wiki you will see text that looks like:

[[Category:Peer Production]]

This is how we organize pages on the wiki.

How to Use Categories

Each page should have at least one category, and as many as are useful.

If your page is of a particular media type, like a Video, Article, or Book, then you can add that category.

If your page is about a certain subject, like Peer Production, then add that category as well.

You can take a look through the Category:P2P Foundation Knowledge Commons for some common categories.

Do not create new categories if at all possible. Unused categories make more administration work later as each category is a new page.
