I know it would be a serious pain to do, and if people think it's a good idea I volunteer to make a start as I've been daft enough to suggest it, but should articles be placed in two categories, when the second is a sub-category of the first? To make this clear with an example should [[Accendare]] be in both the category ''Dragons'' and it's subcategory ''Individual Dragons''? My though was that if entry directly into the Dragons category was restricted to items with no subcategory then these articles would stand out more. --[[User:Andrew|Andrew]] 03:25, 15 February 2007 (PST)

Hmm, I don't seem to be able to link directly to the Category pages within the text of these comments. --[[User:Andrew|Andrew]] 03:28, 15 February 2007 (PST)

Andrew -- no, articles shouldn't be placed into both categories in that situation -- that's exactly why the subcategories exist, as you suggest.

[[Category:Dragons]]
 
+
[[Category:Individual Dragons]]
[[:Category:Dragons]] should only include topical articles about dragons and any dragon subcatgegories.  Individual dragons only go into [[:Category:Individual Dragons]] -- same with breed articles, which should only go into [[:Category:Dragon Breeds]].
 
 
 
(To link to categories, use <nowiki>[[:Category:Dragons]]</nowiki>)
