In addition to the general wiki categorization guidelines provided by [[Help:Categorization]], there are several considerations for categorization that are unique to the UniWiki. Because the UniWiki is a relatively small project, its categories are not as granular as those found in projects such as Wikipedia. Relatedly, the small amount of categories often serves to make navigation by category ''easier'' than in other projects, so proper category organization is imperative.

* Editors should check existing categories for a match before creating new ones.
* Categorize an article by writing wikitext in the article. Do not categorize articles using templates outside [[:Category:Maintenance templates]].
* Editors should check existing [[Special:Categories|categories]] for a match before creating new ones.
** If an editor feels that an article or media file does not fit within any current category, they are welcome to create a new category that they feel is appropriate.
** If an editor feels that an article or media file does not fit within any current category, they are welcome to create a new category that they feel is appropriate.
*** When creating new categories, editors should populate the Category page with a brief description of what articles or media the category is intended to include.

* The categories of media files may not necessarily be related to the categories of the articles in which they are used.
* The categories of media files may not necessarily be related to the categories of the articles in which they are used.
* Articles should generally only be categorized in the lowest-level category that is appropriate (for example, Small Gneiss Deposit would go in [[:Category:Ore sites]] rather than [[:Category:Mining]]). Exceptions exist in cases where an article would not be placed in a category where a reader may logically choose to look for it (for example, Catching the Scent is an Epic Arc mission, and is placed in both [[:Category:Epic Arcs]] and [[:Category:Missions]], even though Epic Arcs is a subcategory of Missions).
* Articles should generally only be categorized in the lowest-level category that is appropriate (for example, Small Gneiss Deposit would go in [[:Category:Ore sites]] rather than [[:Category:Mining]].
* Most categories should have a main article that provides an overview of the category. If it exists, this article should be linked on the Category page using {{tl|main}}.
* Most categories should have a main article that provides an overview of the category. If it exists, this article should be linked on the Category page using {{tl|main}}.
* [[Special:MyPage|User pages]] are not articles, and thus do not belong in content categories such as [[:Category:EVE University]]. They can however be placed in user category [[:Category:Pilots]].
* User subpages that are draft versions of articles should be kept out of content categories such as [[:Category:EVE University]]. If you copy an article from mainspace to userspace and it already contains categories, remove them or comment them out. Restore the categories when you move the draft back into article space.


For a general outline of the UniWiki's categorization structure, see [[UniWiki:Structure]].

==Category conflicts==
===[[:Category:Events|Events]]===
===PvE and PvP===
{{Category:Events}}


[[#PvE|Category:PvE]] and [[#PvP|Category:PvP]] are mutually exclusive; articles are strongly related to one or to neither, and should not be assigned to both categories. Articles detailing general combat concepts or mechanics should be assigned to [[#Combat|Category:Combat]] in lieu of either of these categories.
===[[:Category:Expansions|Expansions]]===
{{Category:Expansions}}


===Fleets and PvP===
===[[:Category:Expeditions|Expeditions]]===
{{Category:Expeditions}}


Articles assigned to [[#Fleets|Category:Fleets]] should not also be automatically assigned to [[#PvP|Category:PvP]]. Fleets are used outside of PvP in a variety of situations, particularly in [[Incursions]], but also during group mission running, or as a means to form "standing" or "quick-response" fleets.
===[[:Category:Exploration|Exploration]]===
{{Category:Exploration}}


===User Interface and Game mechanics===
===[[:Category:Faction Warfare|Faction Warfare]]===
{{Category:Faction Warfare}}


Most images depicting elements of EVE user interface would normally belong in [[#User Interface|Category:User Interface]]. However, some images may be used to easily show ship or item attributes as viewed via "Show Info". In these cases, [[#Game mechanics|Category:Game mechanics]] may be used.
===[[:Category:Factions|Factions]]===
{{Category:Factions}}


===Accounts/Applications and API===
===[[:Category:Fiction|Fiction]]===
{{Category:Fiction}}


Images related to account services and management generally belong in [[#Accounts|Category:Accounts]] (in the case of API management) or [[#Applications|Category:Applications]] (for third-party applications that use API keys). However, when these images depict the use of API keys, [[#API|Category:API]] may be used. With the upcoming deprecation of both XML and CREST APIs, this may cease to be a conflict.
===[[:Category:Fitting|Fitting]]===
{{Category:Fitting}}


===Fitting and Fittings===
===[[:Category:Fittings|Fittings]]===
{{Category:Fittings}}


[[#Fittings|Category:Fittings]] contains all sub-articles of the form {{co|lightgreen|<ship name>/Fittings}} that contain fittings for specific ships categorized in [[#Ship Database|Category:Ship Database]]. This category should be considered deprecated and no longer in use, as the [[Fittings Department]] will be migrating these fittings to the main Ship Database pages and removing the sub-articles. All other articles containing information about general fitting principles, or articles related to modules, should be placed in the new [[#Fitting|Category:Fitting]].
===[[:Category:Fleets|Fleets]]===
{{Category:Fleets}}


==Guidelines by category==
===[[:Category:Game mechanics|Game mechanics]]===
{{Category:Game mechanics}}
=== [[:Category:Accounts|Accounts]] ===
 
{{main|Accounts}}
===[[:Category:Getting Started|Getting Started]]===
Articles and media relating to EVE account management or character creation. The exception to this is articles and media related to the EVE API; these belong in [[#API|Category:API]].
{{anchor|Getting Started}}{{Category:Getting Started}}

See above for possible category conflicts.
===[[:Category:Mining|Mining]]===
{{Category:Mining}}


===[[:Category:Agents|Agents]]===
===[[:Category:Missions|Missions]]===
{{Category:Missions}}


Articles and media relating to agent NPCs that grant missions. While articles about agents of a specific type should be placed in the appropriate subcategory (where applicable), all agent portraits should be placed in Category:Agents specifically.
===[[:Category:NPCs|NPCs]]===
{{Category:NPCs}}


====Subcategories====
===[[:Category:Pilots|Pilots]]===
{{Category:Pilots}}


* [[#Career Agents|Career Agents]]
===[[:Category:Planetary Industry|Planetary Industry]]===
{{Category:Planetary Industry}}


===[[:Category:API|API]]===
===[[:Category:POS|POS]]===
{{Category:POS}}


Articles and media relating to the use of the EVE Online APIs (XML, CREST, or ESI).
===[[:Category:PvE|PvE]]===
{{Category:PvE}}


[[#Category conflicts|See above]] for possible category conflicts.
===[[:Category:PvP|PvP]]===
{{Category:PvP}}


===[[:Category:Applications|Applications]]===
===[[:Category:Ship Database|Ship Database]]===
{{Category:Ship Database}}


Articles and media relating to third-party applications and software. A good rule of thumb is that this category should contain articles or media detailing any program or interface that is not native to the EVE client. The biggest exception to this rule would be media or images relating to official CCP/EVE websites, such as Account Management or EVE Community. These would be better placed in [[#Accounts|Category:Accounts]].
===[[:Category:Ships|Ships]]===
{{anchor|Ships}}{{Category:Ships}}


===[[:Category:Applying to EVE University|Applying to EVE University]]===
===[[:Category:Skills|Skills]]===
{{main|Applying to EVE University}}
{{Category:Skills}}
:''See also: [[#EVE University|Category:EVE University]]''
Articles related to [[EVE University|EVE University's]] [[Applying to EVE University|application process]]. Media related to the EVE University Portal or Tool should be placed in Category:Applications, while media related to those parts of the application process should be placed in either Category:EVE University or Category:User Interface, as appropriate.


===[[:Category:Classes|Classes]]===
===[[:Category:Sovereignty|Sovereignty]]===
{{Category:Sovereignty}}


Articles detailing classes offered by [[EVE University]]. These articles often also belong to [[#Syllabi|Category:Syllabi]]. Some classes (but not all) belong to one of several subcategories that rate a class based on the difficulty of its subject matter.
===[[:Category:Structures|Structures]]===
{{Category:Structures}}

* [[:Category:Tier 4 Classes|Tier 4 Classes]]


===[[:Category:Combat|Combat]]===
===[[:Category:Template|Template]]===
{{Category:Template}}


Articles related to game mechanics involved in all forms of combat. This category serves a supercategory to a great many subcategories, in particular [[#PvE|Category:PvE]], [[#PvP|Category:PvP]], and [[#Weapons|Category:Weapons]].
===[[:Category:Template documentation|Template documentation]]===
{{Category:Template documentation}}


===[[:Category:Corporations|Corporations]]===
===[[:Category:Templates copied from Wikia Templates|Templates copied from Wikia Templates]]===

Articles and media related to corporations mechanics and in-game organizations (including NPC corporations). Logos for both NPC and player corporations belong here.

===[[:Category:UniWiki Manual of Style|UniWiki Manual of Style]]===
