Homecoming Wiki talk:Article Guidelines

Wow, this is fantastic, much better than what I would have come up with! --TonyV 10:10, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

I have to credit StarGeek for doing most of the legwork, much of what I did was reshaping what he had done over on Help:References. :) -- Sekoia 11:28, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

Category

Would this be the appropriate place to put a Category section that briefly describes how to use categories?

For example, what is the difference between these two? (pulled from {{petcommands}})

1. [[Category:Slash Command Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
2. [[Category:Standardized Text Templates]]

I suspect when used on a template it actually makes the template show up in the category list... but I don't know. Help! refrains from using {{helpme}}--Konoko 17:28, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

1. [[Category:Slash Command Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
   • Ignores any prefix (Template:, Category:, ParagonWiki:, etc), using only the page name.
   • Template:petcommands shows up in Category:Slash Command Templates under "P" (petcommands is the page name.)
2. [[Category:Standardized Text Templates]]
   • Uses the whole article name, including prefixes.
   • Template:slashcommand shows up in Category:Slash Command Templates under "T" (Template is the first letter of the article).
