Help:Categories

The categories page, Special:Categories shows the different categories into which the guide is divided. Each category is a group of articles linked by theme. Grammar is one category; UK culture is another.

Observant readers may have noticed that there is a bar across the bottom of this page which tells you the categories to which this page belongs - navigation (in blue, because this a is a 'real' category) and as yet unwritten, which is in red because it has not yet been written. One way to search the database is by clicking on the name of the category to which an article belongs. This will bring up a page which should contain a description, sometimes no description at all, and two lists. The first list is of subcategories to this category, the second of articles in this category. Articles and sub-categories may belong to more than one category: the lists are not restrictive.

Click on some (sub-)categories and you will see that they too have bars across the bottom telling you to which category they belong. Grammar, for example, belongs to the category Linguistic: Linguistic contains the sub-category Grammar. Grammar is "Designed for many sub-categories... ")

Browsing AWE, then, includes the possibility of clicking on the category at the bottom of a page and obtaining a list of articles on the same theme, or other categories that link to the present one. This may suggest a way forward of which you have not yet thought.

There is also a page that lists Special:Wantedcategories - the categories which will eventually exist. These may already contain some articles. What they lack, by the software's definition, is any descriptive text.
