Categorizing information. We use a loose, user defined taxonomy, commonly called a folksonomy.

Simply add [[Category:RelevantTopictomywikipage]] at the bottom of the page.

Examples:

  • [[Category:Real Estate]]
  • [[Category:Italy]]
  • [[Category:Property]]
  • [[Category:Tuscany]]
  • [[Category:For sale]]

They will show up exactly as shown below for this pages categorization: [[Category:AboutUs:Glossary]]

  • the AboutUs:Glossary link below is functional while the Category link is currently offline.


Categories can be a great tool to help users find your wiki page and by extraction, to find useful information by narrowing your search by: topic, business, service, region, geography..

Categories are not:

  • A person's name
  • Name of a business
  • Product names
  • Hyperspecialized
  • A SEO tool, attempts to use it as such clutters individual wiki and category pages, obfuscates the message and frustrates users.
