UniWiki:Categorization

In addition to the general wiki categorization guidelines provided by Help:Categorization, there are several considerations for categorization that are unique to the UniWiki. Because the UniWiki is a relatively small project, its categories are not as granular as those found in projects such as Wikipedia. Relatedly, the small amount of categories often serves to make navigation by category easier than in other projects, so proper category organization is imperative.

General guidelines

• All articles and media should belong to at least one category.
  • Media files should generally only belong to a single, most-relevant category.
  • Articles may belong to as many categories as are appropriate.
  • Categories dedicated to specific media types (such as "image" categories) are deprecated and will be eliminated in the near future.
• Categorize an article by writing wikitext in the article. Do not categorize articles using templates outside Category:Maintenance templates.
• Editors should check existing categories for a match before creating new ones.
  • If an editor feels that an article or media file does not fit within any current category, they are welcome to create a new category that they feel is appropriate.
    • When creating new categories, editors should populate the Category page with a brief description of what articles or media the category is intended to include.
• The categories of media files may not necessarily be related to the categories of the articles in which they are used.
• Articles should generally only be categorized in the lowest-level category that is appropriate (for example, Small Gneiss Deposit would go in Category:Ore sites rather than Category:Mining.
• Most categories should have a main article that provides an overview of the category. If it exists, this article should be linked on the Category page using {{main}}.
• User pages are not articles, and thus do not belong in content categories such as Category:EVE University. They can however be placed in user category Category:Pilots.
• User subpages that are draft versions of articles should be kept out of content categories such as Category:EVE University. If you copy an article from mainspace to userspace and it already contains categories, remove them or comment them out. Restore the categories when you move the draft back into article space.

Guidelines by category

Accounts

Main article: Accounts

Articles and media relating to EVE account management or character creation. The exception to this is articles and media related to the EVE API; these belong in Category:API.

Images related to account services and management generally belong in Category:Accounts (in the case of API management) or Category:Applications (for third-party applications that use API keys). However, when these images depict the use of API keys, Category:API may be used. With the upcoming deprecation of both XML and CREST APIs, this may cease to be a conflict.

API

All pages related to the various EVE Application Program Interfaces (APIs), which is a way for external software to access data about EVE.

Images related to account services and management generally belong in Category:Accounts (in the case of API management) or Category:Applications (for third-party applications that use API keys). However, when these images depict the use of API keys, Category:API may be used. With the upcoming deprecation of both XML and CREST APIs, this may cease to be a conflict.

Applications

For articles related to the EVE client and its interface, see Category:User Interface. For information about applying to EVE University, see Applying to EVE University.

Articles detailing improvements to the EVE experience outside the game client, including third-party tools and system settings.

Articles and media relating to third-party applications and software. A good rule of thumb for this category is any program or interface that is not native to the EVE client. The biggest exception to this rule would be media or images relating to official CCP/EVE websites, such as Account Management or EVE Community. These would be better placed in Category:Accounts.

Images related to account services and management generally belong in Category:Accounts (in the case of API management) or Category:Applications (for third-party applications that use API keys). However, when these images depict the use of API keys, Category:API may be used. With the upcoming deprecation of both XML and CREST APIs, this may cease to be a conflict.

Applying to EVE University

Main article: Applying to EVE University

Articles related to EVE University's intake and progression process. Media related to the EVE University Portal or Tool should be placed in Category:Applications, while media related to those parts of the application process should be placed in either Category:EVE University or Category:User Interface, as appropriate.

Classes

Main article: Classes

Articles detailing classes offered by EVE University.

Combat

Articles related to game mechanics involved in all forms of combat. This category serves a supercategory to a great many subcategories, in particular Category:PvE, Category:PvP, and Category:Weapons.

Corporations

Main article: Corporations

Articles and media related to corporations mechanics and in-game organizations (including NPC corporations). Logos for both NPC and player corporations belong here.

COSMOS

This category contains articles related to COSMOS such as lists, guides or other adjacent articles.

Individual COSMOS agent articles should be assigned to Category:COSMOS agents.

Individual COSMOS mission articles should be assigned to Category:COSMOS missions.

Getting Started

New to EVE Online? New to EVE University? Start here.

This category contains articles that are particularly useful for new players. A general rule of thumb for membership in this category is that these articles should be geared toward players who have just completed the tutorial, and may be wondering what to do next.

Industry

Main article: Industry

Articles related to the manufacturing and production of ships and other items.

Articles related to mining and resource harvesting should be placed in Category:Mining, while articles related to the buying and selling of items (regardless of their use) should be placed in Category:Trade.

Ship Database

Articles dedicated to recording stats/general descriptions of player-controlled ships. Any page that uses Template:ShipArticle should be placed in this category. All other articles detailing ships should be placed in Category:Ships.

This category contains numerous subcategories containing all ships available to players. These subcategories contain articles for specific ships belonging to that type, as well as articles detailing that ship type in general (such as Interceptors). These general articles are members of Category:Ships, and should be the only articles not in Category:Ship Database contained in its subcategories.
Note on sorting: The subcategories in this category are sorted on ship type i.e all frigates are under F, all assault frigates are under A, regardless of subgroup indications like "Special Edition", "EDENCOM", or "Faction" and so on.

For ease of reference, all articles in this category should be placed both in the main category as well as the appropriate subcategory.

For an overview of all ships in EVE, see {{ShipsMatrix}}.

Ships

Main article: Ships

Articles and media relating to all ships, both player- and NPC-controlled. This category specifically does not include the actual ship articles (essentially any article that uses Template:ShipArticle).

Articles detailing ship types (e.g. Interceptors) are included in this category. These articles are also grouped with ship-specific articles in the various subcategories of Category:Ship Database, and should be the only non-ship-specific articles categorized in this way.

All images of ships should be placed in this category.
