top: "internal project" seems redundant - I mean, the link says "Wikipedia:WikiProject"
m Categorizing pages: both A and B. Not both A, and B
Line 19:
{{anchor|CATSPECIFIC}}{{shortcut|WP:CATSPECIFIC}}Each categorized page should be placed in the {{em|most specific}} categories to which it logically belongs. And [[#SUBCAT|subcategories]] should be categorised under the {{em|most specific}} [[#PARENTCAT|parent categories]] possible.
 
Pages (and sub-categories) should not normally be placed in both a given category, and any of its subcategories or parent categories. For exceptions to this, see [[#Eponymous categories|§ Eponymous categories]] and [[#Non-diffusing subcategories|§ Non-diffusing subcategories]].
* For example, the article "Paris" need only be placed in [[:Category:Cities in France]], ''not'' also in [[:Category:Populated places in France]]. Because the first category (cities) is in the second category (populated places), readers are already given the information that Paris is a populated place in France by it being a city in France.
