[[File:Category Template.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|A diagram showing the hierarchical usage of categories (click the diagram above to enlarge the picture).]]
Unlike articles, categories are to be in title case (e.g. ''Australian Cities and Towns'', not ''Australian cities and towns''), and are to be plural where applicable (e.g. ''Planets'', not ''Planet'', but ''Rail Transport''). Conservapedia categories form a tree or heirarchy with [[:Category:Everything]] at its root. Category become subcategories of broader topics by including <nowiki>[[Category:Main Category]]</nowiki> on the category page of <nowiki>[[Category:Subcategory]]</nowiki>. Categories should not be subcategories of themselves or any of their subcategories.

A category page may include text clarifying the scope of the category. You can identify the main article covering a category by including <nowiki>{{Main article|article name}}</nowiki>. Place extended descriptions of the category subject matter in a separate article rather than on the category page.

Lots of excellent wikis have an abundant amount of category tags at the bottom of their articles. Please don't pick fights with other editors over category tags - especially when the category is not a very broad category. Use the instructions above about category tags as a general guideline not as an ironclad rule.
