'''Categories''' are used in Wikipedia to link articles under a common topic and are found at the bottom of the article page. Clicking the category name displays a list of articles in that category, as well as any sub-categories. Categories allow readers to navigate through Wikipedia and find related articles.
==Category tree==
All of the categories form a hierarchy, although sub-categories may be a member of more than one category. An example of a small part of this hierarchical structure is shown:
----
{| align="center"
|-
| rowspan=3| [[:Category:History]]
| rowspan=3| → [[:Category:History by ___location]]
| rowspan=3| → [[:Category:History by country]]
|-
| → [[:Category:History of Australia]]
| → [[:Category:History of New South Wales]]
|-
| → [[:Category:History of the United States]]
| → [[:Category:History of California]]
|-
|
|
|
| → [[:Category:History of Zambia]]
|}
----
<center>
The actual relationship can be a little more complex as a category may appear as a subcategory of several other categories.

</center>
The uppermost category in the hierarchy is [[:Category:Contents]]. From here all other categories branch out, including those that are used for the maintenance of Wikipedia.
If an entry in a category is shown in ''italics'' it is a redirect to an article of a different name that contains information about that particular subject.
