When Uplaoding images or working on pages, it Is very helpful to as categories to the page. This makes them wasier to find, and also allows us to determine statistics, and easily see some information about the image / page / thing.

Adding a category is as simple as adding '''<nowiki>[[Category:Category name]]</nowiki>''' to the page. That's it!

Here is a list of common categories which should be used, listed by the type of page. Those listed in bold are the '''most''' common categories
