subjects. They are implemented by a <a href="/wiki/MediaWiki" title="MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a> feature that adds any page with a text like <code>[[Category:<i>XYZ</i>]]</code> in its wiki markup to the automated listing that is the category with name <i>XYZ</i>. Categories help readers to find, and navigate around, a subject area, to see pages sorted by title, and to thus find article relationships. </p><p>Categories are normally found at the bottom of an article page. Clicking a category name brings up a category page listing the articles (or other pages) that have been added to that particular category. There may also be a section listing the <i>subcategories</i> of that category. The subcategorization feature makes it possible to organize categories into tree-like structures to aid navigation. </p><p>The term <i>category</i> does refer to both the title of a category page—the <i>category pagename</i>—and the category itself. Keeping this in mind while reading about categorization, plus learning a category page layout is a worthwhile investment in research techniques. (See also the search box parameter "<a href="/wiki/H:S#Parameters" class="mw-redirect" title="H:S">incategory</a>".) The layout of a category page is mostly text, but see about <i><a href="#Displaying_category_trees_and_page_counts">displaying category trees</a></i> below. </p> <div class="mw-inputbox-centered" style=""><form name="searchbox" class="searchbox mw-inputbox-form-inline" action="/wiki/Special:Search"><div class="cdx-text-input"><input class="mw-searchInput searchboxInput cdx-text-input__input" name="search" placeholder="e.g. Women's suffrage" size="25" dir="ltr"/></div> <input type="hidden" name="ns14" value="1" id="mw-inputbox-ns14-0.260117329360" checked=""/> <input type="submit" name="fulltext" value="Search Category namespace" class="cdx-button"/><input type="hidden" value="Search" name="fulltext"/></form></div> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Summary" data-mw-thread-id="h-Summary"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Summary"></span>Summary<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Summary"></span></h2></div> <p>The MediaWiki software maintains tables of <i>categories</i>, to which any editable page can be added. To add a page to a category, include "<code>[[Category:<i>Category name</i>]]</code>" or "<code>[[Category:<i>Category name</i>|<i>Sortkey</i>]]</code>" in that page's <a href="/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Wiki markup">wiki markup</a>. The categories to which a page belongs appear in a box at the bottom of the page. </p><p>A category is usually associated with a <i>category page</i> in the "Category:" <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Namespace" title="Wikipedia:Namespace">namespace</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A category page contains text that can be edited, like any other page, but when the page is displayed, the last part of what is displayed is an automatically generated list of all pages in that category, in the form of links. Other category pages which appear in this list are treated separately, as <i>subcategories</i>. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chicken_Eyeglasses_categories.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Chicken_Eyeglasses_categories.png/900px-Chicken_Eyeglasses_categories.png" decoding="async" width="900" height="430" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Chicken_Eyeglasses_categories.png/1350px-Chicken_Eyeglasses_categories.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/Chicken_Eyeglasses_categories.png 2x" data-file-width="1669" data-file-height="798"/></a><figcaption>The bottom of a Wikipedia article on <a href="/wiki/Chicken_eyeglasses" title="Chicken eyeglasses">Chicken eyeglasses</a>.

They each act as a category, and are termed a "category". The category page has one section titled <b>Subcategories</b> listing other "categories", and one section titled <b>Pages</b>, listing pages as categorized (in <i>other</i> namespaces). New categories are created by <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_create_a_page" title="Wikipedia:How to create a page">creating a page</a> in the Category namespace. </p><p>A category page can be edited like any other page. However, when it is displayed, the editable part of the page is followed by automatically generated lists of pages belonging to the category, as follows: </p> <ul><li>First a count and list of subcategories (other category pages belonging to the category) is shown, if any exist. The name of each subcategory is followed by counts like "(6 C, 38 P, 2 F)", meaning this subcategory contains 6 subcategories, 38 pages, and 2 files. Counts of 0 are omitted. The further subcategories are expanded in the display if the <span style="color:#0645AD;">►</span> sign alongside the subcategory is clicked (but this "<a href="/wiki/Web_widget" title="Web widget">widget</a>" is only visible if your browser has <a href="/wiki/JavaScript" title="JavaScript">JavaScript</a> enabled). Note: <span style="color:#C0C0C0;">►</span> is shown if there are no further subcategories. The subcategory is collapsed again if <span style="color:#0645AD;">▼</span> is clicked.</li> <li>Next a count and list of pages in the category (excluding subcategories and images) is shown. If the category has no members, a message to that effect is displayed.</li> <li>Next a count and list of image and other media files in the category appears, if any exist. These are shown with thumbnails. The first 20 characters of the file name are shown, with an ellipsis if that is not the full name; also the file size is shown.</li></ul> <p>The items in the lists all link to the pages concerned; in the case of the images this applies both to the image itself and to the text below it (the name of the image). </p><p>For the way in which the lists are ordered, see <a href="#Sorting_category_pages">Sorting category pages</a> below. The first and second lists are divided into sections, according to the first character of the sort key. These initial characters are displayed above the sections. To suppress these, make all sort keys start with a space. </p><p>A category page can only display a limited number of items (currently 200). If more pages belong to the category, there will be a link to the next ones. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Parent_category"></span> The categories box for the category page appears at the bottom, in the same place as for other pages. This contains the categories to which the current category page has been added, i.e., its <i>parent categories</i> (the categories of which it is a subcategory). Add a category page to other categories in the normal way, using the "[[Category:<i>Category name</i>]]" or "[[Category:<i>Category name</i>|<i>Sortkey</i>]]" syntax. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Putting_pages_into_categories" data-mw-thread-id="h-Putting_pages_into_categories-Category_page_definition"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Putting_pages_into_categories-Category_page_definition"></span>Putting pages into categories <span class="anchor" id="Putting_pages_in_categories"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Putting_pages_into_categories-Category_page_definition"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:PAGECAT"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:PAGECAT&redirect=no">WP:PAGECAT</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Help:VisualEditor#Editing_categories" title="Help:VisualEditor">Help:VisualEditor § Editing categories</a></div> <p>A page becomes part of a category if the page's wiki markup contains a declaration for that category. A category declaration takes the form <code>[[Category:<i>Category name</i>]]</code> or <code>[[Category:<i>Category name</i>|<i>Sortkey</i>]]</code>. The declaration must be processed, i.e. it will not work if it appears between <code class="nowrap" style=""><nowiki>...</nowiki></code> or <code class="nowrap" style=""><includeonly>...</includeonly></code> tags, or in a comment. The declaration may however come from a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Transclusion">transcluded</a> page; see <a href="#Categories_and_templates">Categories and templates</a> below. </p><p>A category name can be any string that would be a legitimate <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_title" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Page title">page title</a>. If the category name begins with a lower-case letter, it will be capitalized. For initial lower-case letters, as in <a href="/wiki/Category:MacOS" title="Category:MacOS">Category:macOS</a>, see the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)#Lowercase_first_letter" title="Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)">technical restrictions</a> page. </p><p>On Wikipedia, it is customary to place category declarations at the end of the wiki markup, but before any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub" title="Wikipedia:Stub">stub</a> templates (which themselves transclude categories). </p><p>When a page has been added to one or more categories, a categories box appears at the bottom of the page (or possibly elsewhere, if a non-default <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Skin" title="Wikipedia:Skin">skin</a> is being used). This box contains a list of the categories the page belongs to, in the order in which the category declarations appear in the processed wiki markup.

English Wikipedia groups accented characters together with their unaccented version, so pages starting with À, Á, Ä, will be listed under heading A. Sorting is case-insensitive, so "ABC" comes after "Abacus". </p><p>Unlike at <a href="/wiki/Special:AllPages" title="Special:AllPages">Special:Allpages</a> and <a href="/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex" title="Special:PrefixIndex">Special:Prefixindex</a>, a space is treated as a space (coming before all other characters), not as an underscore. </p><p>The English Wikipedia has <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCategoryCollation#Numeric_sorting" class="extiw" title="mw:Manual:$wgCategoryCollation">numerical sorting in categories</a>. This means that digit sequences in page names are treated according to their numerical value, not as strings. Thus "9 dogs", "25 dogs", and "112 dogs" will all appear under the "0–9" heading in numerical order, and <a href="/wiki/V838_Monocerotis" title="V838 Monocerotis">V838 Monocerotis</a> will appear before <a href="/wiki/V1309_Scorpii" title="V1309 Scorpii">V1309 Scorpii</a>. </p><p>Each of the three lists (subcategories, pages, media files) is arranged in the order explained above (except that, in the subcategories list, the namespace indicator "Category:" is not considered). If an item ought to be positioned within a list on the basis of an alternative name (sort key) for that item, then this can be specified in the category tag that places the item in the list: </p> <pre><code>[[Category:<i>Category name</i>|<i>Sortkey</i>]]</code> </pre> <p>For example, to add an article called <a href="/wiki/Albert_Einstein" title="Albert Einstein">Albert Einstein</a> to <a href="/wiki/Category:1879_births" title="Category:1879 births">Category:1879 births</a> and have the article sorted by "Einstein, Albert", you would type: </p> <pre><code>[[Category:1879 births|Einstein, Albert]]</code> </pre> <p>Unlike a <a href="/wiki/Help:Piped_link" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Piped link">piped link</a> (which uses the same syntax), the sort key itself is not displayed to readers.
