Sim Football Wiki:List of Categories
Revision as of 05:59, 22 May 2020 by 37thchamber (talk | contribs)
Below is a list of all categories intended for general use on the wiki. You can add any of these to a page by editing it and adding [[Category:##CATEGORY##]] to the bottom.
Note that all categories are case-sensitive!
A list of all categories – including many hidden categories and categories used only for administrative purposes – can be seen here.
The type refers to which kinds of page should contain the category. Player (just for players), Non-Player (for people in the league who are not players), Both (suitable for both players and non-players), Team (should only be used on team pages), or All (can go on any kind of page). If "Special" is listed here, the page has a specific use and should not be used for other kinds of pages, while "Parent" should only be used for subcategories (e.g. "DSFL Drafts" is a subcategory of "Drafts") and pages that do not fit into one of the subcategories (i.e. "Season 2 Prospect Game Draft" doesn't fit under DSFL Drafts or NSFL Drafts, so should be categorised under "Drafts").
Asterisks denote categories that are being considered for removal.
