# Discussions before creating categories can be started on the Talk page of the relevant encyclopedia page, or on the page author's talk page, or on the [[Vicipaedia:Taberna|Taberna]]. A link to the discussion can be added below
# Once categories are created it is not possible to move them in the way that pages are moved; they have to be deleted and recreated
 
== Special types of categories ==
* '''Biographical''' categories, that is, the subcategories of [[:Categoria:Homines]], should contain only biographical articles (i.e. those about single individuals)
* Categories for '''persons''' can and should be created when we have articles about several different topics related to that person (e.g. biography, works, family, activities). N.B. If you want to create a subcategory about a specific aspect of a person's life and work (e.g. [[:Categoria:Opera Ioannis Sebastiani Bach|Works of Johann Sebastian Bach]]; [[:Categoria:Antigoni Monophthalmi sectatores|Followers of Antigonus Monophthalmus]]; [[:Categoria:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]) you should initially create a simple category for the person (e.g. [[:Categoria:Iohannes Sebastianus Bach]], [[:Categoria:Antigonus Monophthalmus]], [[:Categoria:I. R. R. Tolkien]]. Categories for persons should be placed:
*# always in the supercategory [[:Categoria:Categoriae ex hominibus appellatae|Categories named for persons]]
*# always in at least one general category expressing the person's main significance (e.g. [[:Categoria:Pictura|Painting]]; [[:Categoria:Historia Russiae|History of Russia]])
*# but not in biographical categories (e.g. <s>[[:Categoria:Incolae Russiae|People from Russia]]</s>): the ''article'' about this person should be placed in biographical categories but the ''category'' itself should not
* Categories for '''cities/towns''' can and should be created when we have articles about topics related to that city/town (e.g. the place itself, the diocese, universities, buildings, etc.) Categories for cities/towns should be placed:
*# always in a category for cities of the relevant country (e.g. [[:Categoria:Urbes Cambriae|Cities of Wales]])
*# in a category for the relevant province/region if that category exists (e.g. [[:Categoria:Monemutensis|Monmouthshire]])
*# but not in miscellaneous and incidental categories (e.g. <s>[[:Categoria:Urbes Viae Sericariae|Cities on the Silk Road]]</s>): the ''article'' about the city can be placed in such categories but the ''category'' should not
