Linea 43:
Cum primum categoriae non iam exstantis nomen <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Flumina Antarcticae]]</nowiki></tt> in paginam addis, illius categoriae nexus ruber videtur. Categoriam deinde oportet creare:
# In nexum rubrum imprime
# In pagina editoriali inscribe categoriarum "parentalium" (i.e. supercategoriarum iam exstantium) nexum: e.g. in novam categoriam '''Categoria:Flumina Antarcticae''' inscribis <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Flumina]]</nowiki></tt> et <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:AntarcticaRes geographicae Antarcticae]]</nowiki></tt>
# Serva paginam novam tuam categoricam. Iam novae categoriae nexus videtur caeruleus
# Reperi, si potes, categoriam similem in vicipaedia barbara, e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[en:Category:Rivers of Antarctica]]</nowiki></tt>, inde i ad Vicidata, et nexum adde paginae categoricae tuae
 
Linea 50:
# Licet semper categorias exstantibus similes creare: e.g. iuxta categorias [[:Categoria:Auctores Graeci]] et [[:Categoria:Mortui 323 a.C.n.]] licet excogitare <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Auctores Hetthaei]]</nowiki></tt> et <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Mortui 1452 a.C.n.]]</nowiki></tt> si paginam relevantem creaveris
# Licet categorias omnino novas creare, sed:
## Oportet in novam categoriam ad minimum quattuortria membra (paginas seu subcategorias) aut reperire aut e novo scribere
## Si novum paradigma categoriarum incipere vis (e.g. '''Categoria:Scholae comitatus Bedfordiensis''', talibus categoriis non iam exstantibus) debes ante creationem disputare et utilitatem explicare
## Si de Latinitate seu de utilitate categoriae creandae dubitas, '''oportet ante creationem disputare'''
# Nomina categoriarum sunt pluralia si verbum plurale ad rem congruit: e.g. [[:Categoria:Scriptores scaenici]], [[:Categoria:Reptilia]], exceptis autem civitate ([[:Categoria:Germania]]), loco singulo ([[:Categoria:Londinium]]), homine singulo ([[:Categoria:Albertus Einstein]]), genere biologico ([[:Categoria:Triticum]])
# Disputare de categoriis propositis licet seusive apud paginam disputationis paginae respectivae, seusive apud disputationem auctoris paginae, seusive apud [[Vicipaedia:Taberna|Taberna]]m; nexum ad disputationem licet hic addere
# Categoriae iam creatae moveri (sicut paginae moventur) non possunt; oportet delere et e novo creare; vide [[Vicipaedia:Automata/Category move requests]]
 
Linea 70:
*# in categoriam de provincia seu regione si sit (e.g. [[:Categoria:Monemutensis]])
*# sed non in categorias miscellaneas et contingentes (e.g. <s>[[:Categoria:Urbes Viae Sericariae]]</s>): minime categoria sed ''commentatio'' de ea urbe in categorias miscellaneas inserenda est
* Categorias '''de vitae curriculo''' generosius creamus in seriebus gubernatorum, episcoporum, alumnorum et professorum. Categorias iam oportet creare quando de uno homine, tali categoriae relevanti, paginam biographicam creaverimus; subcategoriae erunt sub universitatibus, academiis pictorum architectorumque et musicorum necnon histrionum, atque sub urbe sede episcopali, iamet oportetsub crearepoliticis quandouniuscuiusque de uno homine, tali categoriae relevanti, paginam biographicam creaverimuscivitatis. Categorias de alumnis ludorum vel scholarum iuvenum rarius creamus: si creare vis, tibi oportet alumnos plures ab initio reperire et in categoriam inserere
* Categorias '''de incolis omnium civitatum liberarum''' omniumque civitatum C.F.A. iam habemus. Categorias de incolis singularum insularum creare solemus: vide e.g. [[:Categoria:Incolae Siciliae]]. Categorias incolarum regionum aliarum parviorum rarius creamus: si creare vis, tibi oportet incolas plures ab initio reperire et in categoriam inserere

Line 157 ⟶ 158:
*# ... for ancient Romans, add the appropriate subcategory of [[:Categoria:Gentes Romanae]]
*# ... for any person, add birth and death categories, e.g. [[:Categoria:Nati saeculo 4 a.C.n.]] and [[:Categoria:Mortui 1978]], using the century if the year is not known; a category (or more than one) for where the subject has lived, e.g. [[:Categoria:Incolae Franciae]] or a subcategory such as [[:Categoria:Physici Franciae]] ("physical scientists from France"); and one or more other categories relating to the subject's notability
* In pages about places and regions, add one or more subcategories of [[:Categoria:Loci terrestres]]
* In pages about works created by humans, add the appropriate annal, e.g. [[:Categoria:Incepta 2007]] (choose the appropriate type via [[:Categoria:Annales|this listing]])
* In pages about events, add the simple year category, e.g. [[:Categoria:1914]]

When you add the name of a not-yet-existing category to a page <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Flumina Antarcticae]]</nowiki></tt> it will appear as a redlink. It can then be created:
# Click on the redlink
# In the edit window add the names of existing supercategories: e.g. for your new category '''Categoria:Flumina Antarcticae''' you would add <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Flumina]]</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:AntarcticaRes geographicae Antarcticae]]</nowiki></tt>
# Find a similar category in any other-language Wikipedia if you can, and add a link to it in your new category page, e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[en:Category:Rivers of Antarctica]]</nowiki></tt>
# Save the new category page. Links to it will now be blue
# AddFind a linksimilar to itcategory in theany other-language Wikipedia category if you found onecan, e.g. to the English Wikipedia's '''Category:Rivers of Antarctica''' add <tt><nowiki>[[laen:CategoriaCategory:FluminaRivers Antarcticaeof Antarctica]]</nowiki></tt>. Go to the Wikidata page, and add a link to your newly-created Vicipaedia category page
 
== How to decide and formulate category names ==
# Categories precisely analogous to existing ones can always be created: e.g. working from [[:Categoria:Auctores Graeci]] and [[:Categoria:Mortui 323 a.C.n.]] you can create <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Auctores Hetthaei]]</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>[[Categoria:Mortui 1452 a.C.n.]]</nowiki></tt> (as soon as you have written a relevant page)
# You can create entirely new categories, but:
## For any such new category, at least fourthree "members" (pages or subcategories) mustshould be found, or else must beshouldbe newly written
## If you want to start a new series of categories (e.g. '''Categoria:Scholae comitatus Bedfordiensis''', when there are no similar categories already in existence), before creating it start a discussion and explain why the new series will be useful
## If you are in doubt about the correct Latin name or about the usefulness of a category, before creating it start a discussion
# Category names are plural if the plural makes sense: e.g. [[:Categoria:Scriptores scaenici]], [[:Categoria:Reptilia]]; exceptions include states ([[:Categoria:Germania]]), places ([[:Categoria:Londinium]]), persons([[:Categoria:Albertus Einstein]]), biological genera ([[:Categoria:Triticum]])
# 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 (for help with this see [[Vicipaedia:Automata/Category move requests]])
 
== Special types of categories ==
* The whole tree of subcategories of [[:Categoria:Homines]] should contain only biographical articles (i.e. those about single individuals)
* CategoriesWe often create categories for '''individual persons'''. These categories 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]] or a suitable subcategory, e.g. [[:Categoria:Categoriae ex artificibus appellatae|Categories named for artists]]
*# 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 any subcategories of [[:Categoria:Homines]] (not in, e.g. <s>[[:Categoria:Incolae Russiae|People from Russia]]</s>): the ''article'' about this person should be placed in those categories, the ''category'' for this person should not
* Categories for '''families, tribes and peoples''' can and should be created when we have articles about several different topics related to that group, the group itself, its members, etc. Such categories should not be placed in any subcategory of "[[:Categoria:Homines]]" (pages about the individual members of the group belong there) but:
*# in "[[:Categoria:Familiae]]" or its subcategories where suitable, or
*# in "[[:Categoria:Gentes]]" or its subcategories where suitable
* CategoriesWe often create categories for '''cities/towns'''. These can and should be created when we have articles about several different topics related to that city/town (e.g. the place itself, theits diocesebishops, 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 thatthere categoryis existsone (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
* We often create categories related to people's '''curriculum vitae''', especially ministers and heads of government, bishops, students and teachers at university level. These can and should be created as soon as we have one relevant biography page: they will be subcategories of the relevant universities, schools of art, architecture, music and acting, cathedral cities (for bishops) and national politicians (for heads of government and ministers). We rarely create categories for students of schools below university level: if you want to create such categories, you will need to add relevant pages to them systematically
* We have categories for inhabitants of countries and of each US state. We often create categories for inhabitants of islands (for an example see [[:Categoria:Incolae Siciliae|inhabitants of Sicily]]. We rarely create categories for inhabitants of other smaller areas within a country. If you want to create such categories, you will need to add relevant pages to them systematically
