 Wikipedia's taxonomy guidelines are intended to provide guidance on how to use Wikipedia's taxonomy system correctly. The central goal is to provide navigation links through the taxonomy hierarchy, allowing readers to quickly find pages with the same basic characteristics. The following are the main contents and key points of the guidelines:

Naming conventions:

Subject category names should be singular, consistent with Wikipedia article names; collection category names should be plural.

Avoid names that are too long or too short, and try to choose concise and clear names.

Do not include category structure in the name, and category names should stand alone.

Creating category pages:

Before creating a new category, make sure that no similar categories exist and choose an appropriate category name.

After creating a category, it should be placed in an appropriate parent category.

Category pages should include a description indicating which pages should be included and their subcategories.

Category pages:

Every Wikipedia page should belong to at least one category, unless it is a talk page, redirect page, or user page.

Articles should be classified into the most specific category, rather than being repeated in a parent category.

Categories must be verifiable and maintain a neutral point of view.

Proprietary categories and user page classification:

Proprietary categories (e.g. categories named after people) should only be created when there are enough relevant articles.

User pages and draft pages should avoid being classified into content categories, and should use appropriate user categories or project categories instead.

File and template classification:

Files should be classified into file categories, not content categories.

Templates should not be classified into content categories, but should be classified into template categories to make them easier to find.


Interesting point

Distinguishing between singular and plural names of classifications:


Subject classifications are named singular (such as "Law"), and collection classifications are named plural (such as "Writers"). This rule helps to clarify the nature of classifications, but it may cause ambiguity and misunderstanding in practical applications, which is worth further discussion.


Discussion point

Special treatment of template classification:


Templates should be classified into template categories, not content categories. This rule helps maintain clarity of content categories, but in some cases, the close association of templates with content may require special consideration.
