Addendum to the fandom category policy:

[meri_oddities]

I'm posting this here before adding this to the policy.

There are some smaller decisions the wiki committee has made:

1. Sorting the Fandom Categories - We will sort by the default letter sort. Except where the category is a non-fandom category: Books & Literature, Movies, Real People, etc…



2. We will create a zine (or fanworks, or communities) sub-category if there are more then 15 pages in the fandom category.



3. RPF categories. We are going to go with Real People as the main category and then Actor RPF, Music RPF, Historical FPR, and then by fandom (person) categories.



4. If there is a list of zines that is a subpage of the main category, it will become a top-level page under the category and if there are more than 15 zines on that page, a subcategory will be created.

Some examples:

• Harry Potter/List of Challenges becomes List of Harry Potter Challenges and is put into the Harry Potter Category.
  
  Since it has more than 15 challenges listed on the page, the separate challenge pages will only appear in the Harry Potter Challenges Category and not in the main category.



• For Star Trek, a main category will be created and then subsequent subcategories with Star Trek TOS, Star Trek TNG, Star Trek AOS, etc.


For each of the Star Trek subcategories, there will be subcategories such as zines, challenges, communities, etc.


• The same rules apply, if there are more than 15 pages for any subcategory then they should not be listed on the main subcategory (Star Trek TOS). They should be listed on the secondary subcategory (Star Trek TOS fanzines).

If there are more questions about how to do things, ask them in comments, and I'll either answer or take them back to the committee.

gratuitous icon comment, really

I've updated the help page, but it's not finished yet, so I will return later to add more.

I was looking at how Wikipedia handles category structure and categorizing pages, in particular the Star Trek categories. Obviously, we don't need the same set of subcategories, but I thought it might be helpful for looking at categories in action.
