	We recommend to use a contributor-defined hierarchy when assigning categories to articles.		We recommend to use a contributor-defined hierarchy when assigning categories to articles.

			Each categorized page should be placed in all of the '''most specific categories''' to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is '''not''' normally placed directly into C. (See {{W\|Categorization#Categorizing_pages}})

			'''Example:''' Please assign all articles about circumcision complications to the [[:Category:Circumcision complication]] but not to [[:Category:Complication]] which as a parent category should only collect categories and articles which do refer to complications in general.

	Source-related categories like [[:Category:From IntactWiki]] should always be placed at the very bottom of the list of categories, sorted alphabetically.

	Category names should be as short as possible (without using abbreviations, if possible). If a category represents an attribute (like e.g. "Physicians"), please use a singular category name, like "Physician", not the plural "Physicians". If a category represents a group of ~~attributs~~, stop to think (or check out existing categories) whether it is better to use single subcategories for each attribute and assign these subcategories to another grouping category. Example: The category "Person by gender" groups categories like "Female", "Male", "Gender unknown", etc.		Category names should be as short as possible (without using abbreviations, if possible).
