==Creation==
Categories should be created when they can encompass a significant number of relevant articles. If someone wishes to contest the relevance of a newly created category, they can do so on its talk page.
==Naming conventions==
*Standard article naming conventions apply (see our [[Project:Policy|Manual of Style]]); in particular, do not capitalize regular nouns except when they come at the beginning of the title.
*Names of topic categories should be singular, normally corresponding to the name of an article. Examples: "Rhythm Rally", "Forthington".
*Names of set categories should be plural. Example: "Characters".

== Categorizing pages ==
Each categorized page should be placed in all categories to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on), then it should also be placed into C ''if and only if'' C would also logically and directly apply to the page. For example:

This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on), then it should also be placed into C ''if and only if'' C would also logically and directly apply to the page. For example:
* [[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]] is placed in [[:Category:Rhythm Games]].
*[[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]] is placed in [[:Category:Rhythm Games]].
* [[Munchy Monk|Munchy Monk]] would not be placed in [[:Category:Characters]].
*[[Munchy Monk|Munchy Monk]] would not be placed in [[:Category:Characters]].
 
Please note that the infoboxes, navboxes, etc already provide most of the relevant categories as is.
