Teepeedia:Category guide
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 class 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.
| Category | Use for |
|---|---|
Category:Alumni |
Any graduate of Carol City Senior High |
Category:Coaches |
Coaching staff, past or present |
Category:Administration |
Principals, APs, and administrative staff |
Category:Staff |
Teachers, counselors, and other school staff |
The Alumni infobox adds Category:Alumni 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.
| Category | Use for |
|---|---|
Category:State Champions |
Teams or individuals who won a state title |
Category:All-State |
Athletes who earned All-State recognition |
Category:NFL Alumni |
Alumni who played in the NFL |
Category:College Athletes |
Alumni who played at the collegiate level |
Category:Championship Seasons |
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.
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:
{{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]]
The infobox handles Category:Alumni and Category:Class of 1998 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 (Football) 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: ← 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:
This makes Category:Class of 1998 a subcategory of Category:Alumni, which keeps the browse tree clean.
