Phineas and Ferb Wiki talk:Category creation

Before you add a category
Please do not add categories at random or categories that express a personal opinion like "Category:I think that Meap is the cutest thing in the universe". Also, please consider whether the category is really necessary. If everyone just starts creating categories for whatever they want, then categories will be too convoluted to be of any use.

Think of how the library organizes things. They have a standard method for organizing books. You use a card catalog or a computer to find them. But if everyone was allowed to write whatever they want in the catalog or computer, then it becomes a lot harder to find the books you're looking for.

I may decide that a book on woodcarving belongs in the tools section because you have to use a tool to carve wood. Another person would categorize it by the types of wood you could carve. Another might say it's a hobby, but a different person says it's a profession.

I still have reviewing the existing categories on my list of things to do. Please help me by not adding new categories right now. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 17:46, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
