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. | In addition to the general wiki categorization guidelines provided by [[Help:Categorization]], there are several considerations for categorization that are unique to the UniWiki.
