'''Categories''' are a feature of wiki sites that group together similar ore related articles.

== Categories ==
{{main|Special:Categories}}
Categories can be added to a page either by using the HotCat extension (which allows categories to be added or removed without needing to go into edit mode) or by editing a page and adding <nowiki>[[Category:Category name]]</nowiki> to a page. Categories usually go at the bottom of the page, after the article's content, and after any navboxes.

Categories should be used on every article and file page on Wikisimpsons. Many templates also add categories to pages without the need to add them yourself. If an article doesn't have categories, it will be listed under [[Special:UncategorizedPages]].

== Ordering ==
While categories can be ordered in any way, Wikisimpsons follows a certain pattern for ordering on various pages. The common ordering format for certain page types will be listed below:

=== Characters ===
The ordering for character categories usually goes in the order of:

*Age group (i.e. Adults, Children, Seniors, Babies).
*Job categories (i.e. Actors, Scientists, Dancers, etc.)
*Voice category (i.e. Characters voiced by Hank Azaria, Characters voiced by guest stars, Non-speaking characters, etc.)
*Picture-only characters (if the character only appears in a picture).
*Recurring characters/One-time characters.
*Characters introduced in season X (with X being the number of the season. Only used on recurring character pages).

 === Files ===
 The ordering of file/image categories goes in the order of:
-*Top-level categories (i.e. Images - Characters, Images - Media, Images - Locations).
+*Top-level categories (i.e. Images - Characters, Images - Media, Images - Locations, Images - Vehicles).
 **If an animal (that doesn't have its own image category), Images - Animals goes after Images - Characters.
 *Character categories (i.e. Images - Homer, Images - Bart, etc.). These go in the order of Simpson family members first in age order (Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie), then other characters in alphabetical order.
 **The only exception to this rule is ''Tapped Out'' character collection images, which go in order from left to right.
