[Summary]

     Categorization is a guideline that provides guidance on how to effectively categorize articles on Wikipedia. Categorization is the process of organizing articles into categories based on their subject matter. The guideline emphasizes the importance of using existing categories and avoiding the creation of unnecessary or redundant categories. It encourages editors to categorize articles based on their notable aspects and relevance, while also considering the potential for future growth and changes in categorization. 

     The guideline recommends the use of specific, precise, and meaningful category names, and discourages the use of vague or ambiguous ones. It also advises against over-categorization, which involves placing articles in too many categories, as it can make navigation and maintenance difficult. The guideline encourages the use of category hierarchies to create a structured organization of articles within a broader subject area. It emphasizes the importance of consensus and collaboration among editors when making decisions about categorization, and encourages discussions to resolve disputes or concerns. The guideline also provides recommendations for creating and maintaining category pages, including the use of appropriate templates and descriptions. Overall, the guideline aims to promote consistency, clarity, and usability in Wikipedia's categorization system.


[Interesting point]

     Categorization guideline is the emphasis on avoiding over-categorization. This means that editors are encouraged not to place articles in too many categories, as it can make navigation and maintenance difficult. Over-categorization can result in cluttered category pages and may dilute the significance of each category. 


[Discussion angle]


     Categorization guideline is the creation and maintenance of category hierarchies. The guideline recommends using category hierarchies to create a structured organization of articles within a broader subject area. However, determining the appropriate hierarchy and ensuring its accuracy and completeness can sometimes be subjective and challenging. Editors may have different opinions on how to best structure categories, which can lead to discussions and debates about the most effective approach.

As mentioned in the article, no one would have imagined that Wikipedia could become the top website today. Before I took the course taught, I was also a person who had only heard of wiki but could not use or understand what Wikipedia was, including wiki voyage, wiki data, etc. Because I have never been taught, I am very grateful to the professor for letting me know about wiki and joining wiki. I understand that the core of wiki is a collaborative community, where many volunteers freely and voluntarily share their knowledge; Children as young as seven or eight years old and elderly people can become volunteers in wiki.
