Below, you will find a tree showing all of the categories that are set up for the Masquerade 2020 chronicle: The 13th Hour.
For pages created via the forms, they should include the relevant categories from this list. If a form-created page is missing a category that it should have or is displaying a category that seems incorrect, use this page to log any bugs or feedback.
For pages created without the forms, please be certain to include relevant categories for things like clan, sect, region, VSS, etc. Double-check these categories against the following list to make sure you're using the category where all the other pages of that type are collected. If you type [[Category:Malkavians]] (plural) or [[Category:Setites]] (rather than Ministry), people looking for pages under the "Malkavian" or "Ministry" categories won't see yours, which could be sad if it's someone looking for character ties or a new domain to play in or something.
Everyone is certainly welcome to create their own category pages, but please don't create new Clan or Region category pages, for instance, that might confuse other players. Pages for PC groups, such as coteries, lineages, gangs, clandestine organizations, and social clubs are probably the most common category pages players will need to create: good news! There's a form for that, too! Form:Masquerade PC Group Creation will create a simple but functional category page with all the necessary subcategory links to make it show up in people's searches, and it can easily be elaborated upon.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be very careful when adding category links to category pages. If, for instance, you mark a Domain page as belonging to its VSS, and the VSS is correctly marked as a member of the Domain, you wind up with a loop where they're both subcategories of one another, and it's like a dividing by zero thing, and things crash, and nobody wants that! The page creation forms for the various categories should take care of all the subcategory stuff. That's why they're there.
