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

Simply edit the Wiki Section of the page (below the InfluenceUs section) and add [[Category:RelevantTopicToMyWikiPage]] at the bottom of the page. The page to which you add the category tag will now be listed as a link on the corresponding category page.

Examples:

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

They will show up exactly as shown below for this page's categorization: [[Category:AboutUs:Glossary]] [[Category:AboutUs Help]] [[Category:WikiAnatomy]]

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.

To find a list of all pre-existing categories, see Special:Prefixindex/Category:, though there are too many for this list to be very useful at the moment.
