In order to make things easier to navigate (and edit), Lexicanum has a general formatting "style" that should be followed when editing articles. Below are the basic guidelines.
==Categories==
===Categories v. Articles===
Categories are a useful way of organizing articles, but there are some standards that editors should follow. Most importantly, a category page (such as [[:Category:Space Marines]]) should ''not'' contain a detailed writeup of the topic. Instead, create a separate article - in this example, [[Space Marine]], which is in its own category and in [[:Category:Space Marines]] parent category. Thus, the article [[Space Marine]] is in [[:Category:Space Marines]] and [[:Category:Imperium]].
===Parent Categories===
You may have noticed that in the above example, [[:Category:Space Marines]] has a parent category: [[:Category:Imperium]]. In general, most categories should have a parent category of some kind, especially if they are listed in the table of contents at [[Categories]]. Note that you only need to list the immediate parent, not ''all'' the parents.
