Why Categories
The Wiki allows you to categorize pages by adding one or more category tags to the text. These categories helps to organize the articles in specific category tags and makes it easy to browse related articles.
For example, the category Hydro consist of all articles about hydro, that are available on energypedia.
All pages should be categorized! This is essential for the functioning of the wiki and provides additionally some structure and guidance for the users.
