List the second one on the next line. Instead beginning the line with <b>'''Classification:'''</b> type <b>''also:''</b>. You don't have to add a classification for every possible hierarchy. Sometimes, the hierarchy is just a link between different hierarchies. </p><p>For example: <a href="/wiki/Category:African-American_actors" title="Category:African-American actors">Category:African-American actors</a> is part of the hierarchy under <a href="/wiki/Category:African_Americans" title="Category:African Americans">Category:African Americans</a>. It is also a subcategory of <a href="/wiki/Category:American_actors" title="Category:American actors">Category:American actors</a>. It is one of just a few sub-groupings under American actors (not all ethnicities are subcategories of American actors), and the entries are duplicated in both categories. This is because they are in effect just related categories. Instead of showing that connection as a classification, it might make more sense to just put a link such as <b>See also: <a href="/wiki/Category:American_actors" title="Category:American actors">Category:American actors</a></b>. </p><p>Another option, when a category is a subcategory of multiple parent categories of the same level, all themselves subcategories of a single "grandparent", is to use commas and "and" to show them all in the classification, in shortened form. The <a href="/wiki/Serial_comma" title="Serial comma">serial comma</a> is recommended, for clarity. Example: </p> <div style="text-align:center;"><b>Classification: </b><a href="/wiki/Category:Sports" title="Category:Sports">Sports</a>: <a href="/wiki/Category:Individual_sports" title="Category:Individual sports">Individual</a>, <a href="/wiki/Category:Indoor_sports" title="Category:Indoor sports">Indoor</a>, <a href="/wiki/Category:Precision_sports" title="Category:Precision sports">Precision</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Category:Ball_games" title="Category:Ball games">Ball games</a>: <b>Cue sports</b></div> <div style="text-align:center;"><i>also:</i> <a href="/wiki/Category:Games" title="Category:Games">Games</a>: <a href="/wiki/Category:Games_of_physical_skill" title="Category:Games of physical skill">Of physical skill</a>, <a href="/wiki/Category:Games_of_mental_skill" title="Category:Games of mental skill">Of mental skill</a>, <a href="/wiki/Category:Ball_games" title="Category:Ball games">Ball</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Category:Pub_games" title="Category:Pub games">Pub games</a>: <b>Cue sports</b></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Using_templates_to_classify_categories" data-mw-thread-id="h-Using_templates_to_classify_categories"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Using_templates_to_classify_categories"></span>Using templates to classify categories<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Using_templates_to_classify_categories"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Category_classification_templates&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Using templates to classify categories"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are several templates to help classify categories (and more on the way).
