Initial category guide

New page

= Category Guide =

Categories are how content on Teepeedia stays organized and browseable. Every page should have at least one category. Most pages will have several.

== By Class ==

Every alumni page gets a graduation year category.

Category:Class of 1990
Category:Class of 1991
...

The Alumni infobox handles this automatically when you fill in the <code>class</code> field. Do not add it manually if you are using the infobox.

== By Type ==

Used to broadly classify who or what a page is about.

{| class="wikitable"
! Category !! Use for
|-
| <code>Category:Alumni</code> || Any graduate of Carol City Senior High
|-
| <code>Category:Coaches</code> || Coaching staff, past or present
|-
| <code>Category:Administration</code> || Principals, APs, and administrative staff
|-
| <code>Category:Staff</code> || Teachers, counselors, and other school staff
|}

The Alumni infobox adds <code>Category:Alumni</code> automatically. Add the others manually at the bottom of the page.

== By Sport ==

Add the sport category for any alumni, coach, or season page tied to that sport.

Category:Football
Category:Basketball
Category:Baseball
Category:Track and Field
Category:Soccer
Category:Volleyball

Add new sport categories as needed. Keep names singular and title-cased.

== By Achievement ==

Use these to highlight notable alumni and seasons.

{| class="wikitable"
! Category !! Use for
|-
| <code>Category:State Champions</code> || Teams or individuals who won a state title
|-
| <code>Category:All-State</code> || Athletes who earned All-State recognition
|-
| <code>Category:NFL Alumni</code> || Alumni who played in the NFL
|-
| <code>Category:College Athletes</code> || Alumni who played at the collegiate level
|-
| <code>Category:Championship Seasons</code> || Season pages tied to a state or regional title
|}

== General ==

Category:Carol City Chiefs

Use this as a catch-all for pages that represent the school or program broadly (e.g., the main Football page, the school history page).

== How to Add Categories to a Page ==

Add categories at the very bottom of the page, after all content.

[[Category:Alumni]]
[[Category:Football]]
[[Category:NFL Alumni]]
[[Category:Class of 1998]]

Each category goes on its own line. Order does not matter, but grouping them logically makes the wikitext easier to read.

== Example: Alumni Page ==

For an alumnus who graduated in 1998 and played football:

<pre>
{{Alumni infobox
| name = Horace Bradshaw
| class = 1998
| sport = Football
| college = University of Miami
}}

Horace Bradshaw is a 1998 graduate of Miami Carol City Senior High School...

[[Category:Football]]
[[Category:College Athletes]]
</pre>

The infobox handles <code>Category:Alumni</code> and <code>Category:Class of 1998</code> automatically. The two categories at the bottom are added manually.

== Subpages ==

Sport season pages live as subpages under their sport.

Football/2003_carol_city_football_season
Football/1992_carol_city_football_season

The parent page (<code>Football</code>) serves as the index for the program. Each season page links back to it automatically via MediaWiki's breadcrumb.

Season pages should still have categories applied:

[[Category:Football]]
[[Category:Championship Seasons]] ← only if applicable

== Creating a New Category ==

Categories are created automatically when you add them to a page. The category page itself starts empty. To make it useful, edit it and add a one-line description:

Pages in this category are alumni who graduated in 1998.

You can also add a parent category to the category page itself:

[[Category:Alumni]]

This makes <code>Category:Class of 1998</code> a subcategory of <code>Category:Alumni</code>, which keeps the browse tree clean.
