| If you have changed ship, your old ship might have a category for former PCs (e.g. [[:Category:Independence-A Alumni]]). If so, add this to the bottom of your characters page at the same time as adding it to the PC's category for your new ship. | | If you have changed ship, your old ship might have a category for former PCs (e.g. [[:Category:Independence-A Alumni]]).

| ===Advanced Categorization===
| |
| If you have "filled out" your character page, and are including a SIM archive, in depth personal and professional histories all on their own pages, etc., then you will need a more complex category set-up to make it easier to navigate. Please do ''not'' use this method if you only have your one character page and less than two sub-pages.
| |
| | |
| As mentioned, it is best to do this only if you have a number of pages. Your first task is to create a sub-category for your character. To do this, you would put the following category tag at the bottom of your main page: <nowiki>[[Category:Wolf, Tristan|*]]</nowiki> -- using your own character's name, of course. This creates a separate category for your character. The "|*" within the tag is used to put this page in the * section of the category, which is always displayed first. So the first article the user sees upon entering your category is the main character page.
| |
| | |
| Now, once the page is saved, click on the category link, which should be red. This will take you to a page where you can edit the introductory text for the category. Add something like this:
| |
| | |
| : "For information pertaining to <nowiki>[[Wolf, Tristan|Tristan Wolf]]</nowiki>."
| |
| | |
| Then, put this tag at the bottom of the page: <nowiki>[[Category:Characters]]</nowiki> and save the page. This category now becomes a sub-category of the main character category.
| |
| | |
| Now it's time to categorize each of your sub-pages. This is similar to categorizing your main page, but you need to change the section each page is organized in. With the main page, we added "|*" to the end of the category page so that it would be organized into the * section of the category. With category pages, they're going to be named something like this: "Wolf, Tristan/Personal History". So, we'll want to make sure that each page is organized into a section according to what the page's name is. For the example above, we'd use the following category tag: <nowiki>[[Category:Wolf, Tristan|Personal]]</nowiki>. Now it'll be categorized in the "P" section of the category, and will be properly alphabetized if there are other pages in that section.
| |
| | |
| Finally, if your vessel has a category for '''active characters''' (''do not put your character into your vessel's NPC listing category''), you can include your character's sub-category into your vessel's active characters category. To do so, go to your character's sub-category. Click on the "edit" link, and include the category tag for your vessel's active characters category there. This creates a new sub-category in your vessel's active characters category with your character sub-category in it. Confusing, huh?
