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.

2. The following box will open:
3. The right part of the box shows existing categories, which can be added to the respective article by clicking on the "+" sign next to the category name.
The left part of the box shows categories which have been added to the article. They can be removed by clicking the "-" sign next to the category name.
Please note: An article should not have more than 4 to 5 categories (otherwise you should consider splitting up the article into several minor ones).
Linking to Category Pages

Categorize Files / Pictures /Categories
Other uploaded files like pictures or documents even categories themselves should be categorized exactly like normal pages. It is useful to connect the article-categories with categories already in place to establish connections and hierarchies. To this end, after saving the article, follow the category links at the end of the page to see, if the category is already in place.
