Red Dead Wiki:Categorization


 * All content pages (articles) should belong to at least one category which is not a maintenance category.
 * Disambiguation pages and redirects are not considered articles in the sense of this rule.
 * A content page should be placed in all the categories to which it logically belongs.
 * A content page should be placed only in the most game-specific category (or categories) out of a given branch of the category tree. The question you should ask yourself is: Is category A a (more) game-specific version of category B? If that is the case, the page should only be in category A. For example, a weapon which appears in Red Dead Redemption should be in Category:Redemption Weapons but not in Category:Weapons (because "Redemption weapons" is a game-specific version of "Weapons"). Similarly, a weapon which appears in Undead Nightmare should not be in Category:Weapons or Category:Redemption Weapons, but only in Category:Weapons in Undead Nightmare (because the latter is the most game-specific category). On the other hand, a weapon which appears in both Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption should be in both Category:Revolver Weapons and Category:Redemption Weapons.
 * An article should always be categorized by characteristics of the topic, not characteristics of the article. A mission article which contains descriptions of an achievement/trophy, for example, does not belong in Category:Achievements and trophies.
 * An article should never be left with a non-existent (redlinked) category on it. Either the category should be created, or the link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist.
 * User pages should not be placed in content categories. They may be placed in certain categories which explicitly allow to do so, otherwise they should remain uncategorized.
 * Also always check the description for each category before adding it.
 * Categories need to be written and capitalized properly in order for them to work.
 * A list of all available categories can be found here.
