=== Categories ===

Categories all serve different purposes: sometimes they say what something is or the context in which it belongs ([[~~tag/view/edo|~~edo]], [[~~tag/view/interval|~~interval]]). Sometimes they are used for annotation purposes ([[~~tag/view/todo~~:~~reduce_mathslang|~~todo:reduce mathslang]]), etc. All these forms have in common is that they can combine wiki pages in a way that is independent of their authors.

~~You can look at the [[tag/list|list of used categories]] or link to particular categories using the prefix <tt>https://en.xen.wiki/w/Category:</tt>~~

~~Some tag examples~~:

A category may have its own content (and category)

:''see [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=14 Pages in the namespace '''Category''']''

or not yet (despite being used to categorize other pages):

:''see [[Special:WantedCategories]]''

Some more examples:

* [[:Category:todo:add_definition|todo:add definition]] - here a term needs to be defined

* [[:Category:Todo]] - category of categories that flag articles
