 ==In templates and categories {{anchor|In the Template and Category namespaces}}==
-Self-references are sometimes found in the [[Help:Template|templates]] and the [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categories]].  Some of these are necessary or intrinsic to the purpose of the page, as with disambiguation information at the top of category pages and in {{tl|stub}} templates, which encourage readers to edit the page.  Unnecessary self-references are not encouraged in templates or categories, due to the need of third-party users to either delete those templates or modify them to remove the Wikipedia references.  For example, all {{tl|navbox}} templates should provide a list of related articles, but none of them should label these pages as "Wikipedia articles" or as "Related articles on this website".

 When forced to use templates like this, you should use them in a way such that the article still makes sense when the template is removed, in order to facilitate automated removal.
-Wikipedia project coordination pages should be under [[:Category:Wikipedia administration]], not in categories that contain main-namespace articles by topic. (A small number of articles ''about'' Wikipedia are in the mainstream categories and this is OK.) User pages may be categorized under [[:Category:Wikipedians]], but not in any of the subcategories under [[:Category:People]].
+User pages may be categorized under [[:Category:Pilots]], but not in any subcategories under [[:Category:People]]. If a player (whether they are known by their in-game name or not) becomes notable within the EVE community at large, an article separate from their User page should be written, even if they already possess a populated User page.
