So you've decided to help join in the never-ending task of categorising pages? Here's all you'll need for help :)

== Why categorise? ==
Categories greatly assist in navigating the wiki. If someone is looking for all pages related to a particular topic (e.g. airlines in a particular world), then all they have to do is navigate to that category instead of trawling through every single page. Ergo, it makes everyone's life easier.

== How to categorise ==
To start off with, categorise pages into broader ones, like [[:Category:Airlines]] and [[:Category:Alliances]]. Once this is done, then you can move into splitting the pages into smaller and more specific categories, like [[:Category:Airlines in AE1]], and placing these sub-categories into the larger ones. Again, the whole aim of this is to make pages easier to find.

Using wikitext, to categories you simply place:

<code><nowiki>[[Category:Example]]</nowiki>

at the bottom of the editing area. You may add as many as you like (and are relevant).
