Categories[edit]

Categories can be used by readers to find sets of articles on related topics. Categories can also be defined as subcategories of other categories.

  • Categorical index – an index of major categories, arranged by subject – that section of the page is an exception to the category autogeneration rule, as it is crafted by hand.
  • Category:Philosophy—the highest level or "root" category for philosophy in Wikipedia – its autogenerated entries are listed at the bottom of the page.
