Help:Categorization

  Qu'est-ce qu'une "Catégorie?" Les catégories fonctionnent comme des index, regroupant des articles de sujets ou thèmes similaires. Les catégories (ainsi que d'autres fonctionnalités telles que les renvois, les listes et infoboxes) aident les utilisateurs à trouver des informations, même s'ils ignorent que l'information existe ou ce qu'ils ont appelé.  Quand utiliser les catégories? Chaque article devrait appartenir au moins à une catégorie. Les catégories à inclure, qui servent de classification, doivent être les thèmes significatifs (utiles) auquel le sujet de l'article se rapporte, et vers lesquels les utilisateurs sont le plus susceptibles de rechercher si elles ne peuvent pas se souvenir le nom du sujet qu'ils essaient de trouver. par exemple: Article: &lt;a href="United states vital records"&gt;United States Vital Records&lt;/a&gt; Useful category: Category:United States Not as useful: Category:United States records which start with V  ''Be careful not put an article in a category that is the same as the name of the article. For example, do not put “Missouri Vital Records” in the category: "Missouri Vital Records.” It goes in the category: “Missouri.” Missouri Birth Records would go in the category: “Missouri Vital Records.”'' </li></ul> Questions to ask to determine whether it is appropriate to add an article to a category: <ul><li>If the category does not already exist, is it possible to write a few paragraphs or more on the subject of the category, explaining it? </li><li>If you go to the article from the category, will it be obvious why the article was put in the category? </li><li>Is the category subject prominently discussed in the article? </li><li>Does the category fit into the overall category system? Categories that don't fit are often deleted. </li></ul> If the answer to any of these questions is no, then the category is probably inappropriate. Note that it is always appropriate to add articles to categories that fit into well established &lt;a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies"&gt;taxonomies&lt;/a&gt;, such as those within the &lt;a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&amp;PAGE=First"&gt;Library of Congress Authorities&lt;/a&gt;. Before creating a category Before creating a new category, see if a suitable one already exists. You may find that a category already exists that is similar to the one you are thinking about creating. &lt;a href="Special:Categories"&gt;Browse existing categories here&lt;/a&gt;, or follow the instructions below: <ol><li>Locate the "Toolbox" in the navigation bar, and click on the "Special pages" link&#160;(see below): &lt;img src="/learn/wiki/en/images/c/c6/Toolbox2.png" _fck_mw_filename="Toolbox2.png" _fck_mw_location="center" _fck_mw_width="120" _fck_mw_type="border" alt="Toolbox2.png" class="fck_mw_border fck_mw_center" style="width: 120;" /&gt; </li><li>This will open the "Special pages for all users" list. </li><li>In the "Special pages for all users" list, click "Categories" (see below): &lt;img src="/learn/wiki/en/images/9/96/SpecialPagesCat.png" _fck_mw_filename="SpecialPagesCat.png" _fck_mw_location="center" _fck_mw_width="200" _fck_mw_type="border" alt="SpecialPagesCat.png" class="fck_mw_border fck_mw_center" style="width: 200;" /&gt; </li><li>This will open the "Categories" page. Browse through the list to determine if the category that best describes your article exists. </li><li>If you are unsure if the category is suitable for your article, click on the category to view other pages and articles in the category, or subcategories within that category. </li><li>Write down or copy the category name to ensure accurate use. (Highlight the name, then press Ctrl+C.) </li></ol> How to add a category to a page <ol><li>Log in to the FamilySearch Research Wiki </li><li>Navigate to the page you want to categorize </li><li>Click "Edit" in the page options box. This will open the Editing window. </li><li>In the Editing window, scroll to the bottom of the article. </li><li>Type the category title into the page as shown below: </li><li>Example category text: <span class="fck_mw_nowiki"> . As shown here, the word "Category" is followed by a colon and the name of the category. Two square brackets surround this text, before, and after the name of the category. </li><li>Multiple categories may be added to each page by separating each bracketed entry with a space. For example, to categorize a page under "United States" and "Indians of North America," the entry you would add to the page would look like this: <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">  </li><li>Scroll down until you see the "Save page" button. </li><li>In the Summary field in the edit screen, add the text "cat." This will allow those viewing the "History" of the article to quickly see who added a category to the page. </li><li>Click "Save page." </li></ol> &lt;a href="https://fch.ldschurch.org/WWSupport/wiki/GetStartedHelp/AddCategory_GP/AddCategory_GP.htm"&gt;Click here to view a Guided Practice on how to add a category to a wiki article.&lt;/a&gt; Using sort keys To change the position of an entry in the list, define an explicit sort key for that entry. This is done in the original category declaration on that entry's page, by adding the desired sort key after a pipe. For example, <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">  places a page in the "United States" category with the sort key "Indians". Creating a new category If the category you want does not exist, you can create it. Naming a category well can be tricky. The most efficient way to arrive at a good name for a category is to first obtain a list of terms that others have used for the topic in question. Review the &lt;a href="FamilySearch Wiki:New Common Taxonomy"&gt;New Common Taxonomy&lt;/a&gt; policy that has been established for this purpose. Also the list of terms are available in a library catalog. Librarians have been categorizing knowledge for generations, so it's helpful to use their experience. Two excellent examples are: the &lt;a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&amp;PAGE=First"&gt;Library of Congress Authorities&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="https://familysearch.org/catalog-search"&gt;Family History Library Catalog&lt;/a&gt; (Subject Search). &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions"&gt;Naming conventions&lt;/a&gt;&#160;can also be helpful in creating titles and categories. To create a new category: 1. Follow steps 1-7 in "&lt;a href="Categorization#How_to_add_a_category_to.C2.A0a_page.C2.A0"&gt;How to add a category to a page&lt;/a&gt;." Instead of typing an existing category name, type the category name you want to create. For example, type <span class="fck_mw_nowiki"> 2. Save the page. After it is saved the new category will appear in red at the bottom of the saved page. Just like with newly created pages, a red link means that the article/category has not actually been created. 3. Click on the red link. This will open the Editing window for the new category page. 4. In the editing window, add text (such as a description of the category) and/or a category to the new category (this will make the new category a sub-category of another). The category page will not be active until text or a category is added. Two helpful things to include in a category page are: </dd></dl> <ul><li>A description of the category -- what it should contain. </li></ul> </dd></dl> <ul><li>A note about how you arrived at the category's name, including any aids you used. For instance, many writers use the &lt;a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&amp;PAGE=First"&gt;Library of Congress Authorities&lt;/a&gt; as a source for good category names. </li></ul> </dd></dl> 5. Scroll down until you see the "Save page" button located below the editing window. 6. In the Summary field in the edit screen, add the text "create cat." This will allow those viewing the "History" of the article to quickly see who added a category to the page. 7. Click "Save page Removing a category from an article   If you feel someone has categorized an article in error, it is best to discuss the matter with them before disassociating the article and the category. Use the article's "Talk" page to do this.   Removing a category from an article is as easy as pressing the delete or backspace key. Follow these steps to remove a category from an article: <ol><li>Log in to the FamilySearch Research Wiki. </li></ol> <ol><li>Navigate to the page you want to remove the category from. </li></ol> <ol><li>Click "Edit" in the page options box. This will open the Editing window. </li></ol> <ol><li>In the editing window, locate the category link at the bottom of the page. </li><li>NOTE: Depending on which editor you are using, this may appear in Wikitext as follows: <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">, or similar to the following image:&lt;img src="/learn/wiki/en/images/c/c0/CategoryScotland.png" _fck_mw_filename="CategoryScotland.png" _fck_mw_type="border" alt="CategoryScotland.png" class="fck_mw_border" /&gt; </li></ol> <ol><li>Using the backspace or delete key on your keyboard, delete the category link. </li></ol> <ol><li>Scroll down until you see the "Save page" button. </li></ol> In the Summary field in the edit screen, add the text "delete cat." This will allow those viewing the "History" of the article to quickly see who removed a category from the page. <ol><li>Click "Save page". </li></ol> Redirecting categories Although it is possible to attempt to redirect categories by adding a line such as <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">#REDIRECT to a category, it is not generally recommended because of limitations in the mediawiki software. Categories "redirected" in this way do not prevent the addition of articles to the redirected category. Articles added to the "redirected" category do not show up as in the target category. Until these issues are addressed (in future versions of the software), #REDIRECT should not be added to category pages. <span class="fck_mw_template"><span class="fck_mw_template"> How to create subcategories &lt;img src="/learn/wiki/en/images/6/68/Jurisdictions_Cascade.png" _fck_mw_filename="Jurisdictions Cascade.png" _fck_mw_location="right" _fck_mw_width="300" alt="Jurisdictions Cascade.png" class="fck_mw_right" style="width: 300;" /&gt; Subcategories are categories that fit within a main category. Some categories may be too broad to cover all necessary topics. Subcategories are an easy way of including more detail in a category. A subcategory must first be created as a regular category. Follow the instructions for creating a new category to begin creating the subcategory. Next, you will add a category to the page that will become the subcategory.&#160;On the page that will become the subcategory, type the name of the parent category: <span class="fck_mw_nowiki"> This may seem counterintuitive, because you edit the subcategory page rather than the parent category page. For example: Let's say that you wanted to make the category called Roses into a subcategory of the category called Flowers. Step 1 - Go to the page called <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">, and click edit this page. </dd>Step 2 - Place the text <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">  within the body of the <span class="fck_mw_nowiki"> page, and click "Save page." </dd>Finished! Roses is now a subcategory of Flowers, and <span class="fck_mw_nowiki"> will be visible on <span class="fck_mw_nowiki">. </dd></dl> See also <ul><li>&lt;a _fcknotitle="true" href="Advanced Categorization"&gt;Advanced Categorization&lt;/a&gt; </li></ul> <span class="fck_mw_template"><span class="fck_mw_template"> <span class="fck_mw_template"><span class="fck_mw_template"> <span class="fck_mw_template"><span class="fck_mw_template"> &lt;a _fcknotitle="true" href="Category:Help"&gt;Help&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a _fcknotitle="true" href="Category:Training"&gt;Training&lt;/a&gt;
