==Categories==
===General naming===
Categories can generally be made as long as three pages fit within that category. Please avoid category names that are vague and interpretive.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
When creating a brand-new category, it should generally be as broad as possible without losing focus of the scope. For example, [[:Category:Caretakers]] was created to cover babysitters, pet caretakers, daycare workers, orphanage etc. These are three occupations with similar work, but are individually not quite big enough to warrant their own categories. Subcategories can be made when at least three subjects fit that category over the original, sound as [[:Category:Lakes]] over [[:Category:Bodies of water]].
===Specific naming===
There are specific naming conventions for a variety of categories aside from the ones above, they are:
* '''Staff:''' Actors, writers, animators, musicians, etc,
** '''Actors:''' would recieve the "work name"+ "actors"/"voice actors"/"foreign dub voice actors" depending on their type of role. Examples are:
*** [[Tara Strong]], voice actor, receives [[:Category:Friendship is Magic voice actors]]
*** [[Vivienne Smith]], stage actor, receives [[:Category:Musical actors]]
** '''Crew members:''' have the same treatment, but with their role in the production, such as "writer", "editor", "director", etc.
* '''Places''' shoud have location categories. For example, [[Golden Oak Library]] has a category detonoting its in Ponyville and [[Ponyvile]] has a category denoting its in [[Equestria]]
