==Creating Categories & Subcategories==
To create a new category, follow the same procedure as creating a link. If I wanted to create a category called "Deceased NPCs", I would make it look like this: <nowiki>[[Category:Deceased NPCs]]</nowiki>.


Once you've saved the page, you'll see the category link at the very bottom of the page. It should be a red link, since it's a new category. Click on the link and you'll be taken to a blank editing page.
Put some introductory text at the top of this page to say what the category covers. Now you'll need to add it into the hierarchy. To do so, simply put the link to the category you wish to make your category a "sub" of. So, if I want to add my category (Deceased NPCs) to the Wallace NPC archive, I would put the following link at the bottom of the category editing page: <nowiki>[[Category:Wallace NPCs]]</nowiki>.
